Reviews

Margery Fee:
This book provides a comprehensive picture of an institution devoted to community-based adult education that will add depth to the shorter accounts. Such interdisciplinary work, combining history, ethnography, and education, is sorely needed in rethinking those institutions.

Laara Fitznor:
Haig-Brown presents her research in a manner that demonstrates honour and commitment to those efforts.

Carl Urion, University of Alberta:
An ethnography about hope, promise, hard work and community.
