"""This book does a wonderful job of bringing together an astounding number of provocative ideas in a way that links theory and practice. Grabill's viewpoint-that institutions that affect community literacy programs can be redesigned in a participatory fashion that both empower the users of those programs and improve the institutions attempting to meet users' needs-is brilliant. I haven't seen this idea anywhere in my literacy reading, and yet I am convinced that Grabill is right."" - Mary Sue Garay, coeditor of Expanding Literacies: English Teaching and the New Workplace ""...this book is extremely useful for teachers and researchers because it problematizes literacy theories and then offers clear steps toward solutions."" - Anthropology & Education Quarterly"
