Recensioner i media

‘Timely and relevant topic. The number of refugees coming to the USA is daily on the news; there are very few places in the country not being affected by this phenomenon. This book includes theoretical and practical aspects, which makes it relevant to practitioners and researchers. Both undergraduate and graduate students learning about adult literacy education in general and refugee/immigrant populations in particular will also benefit. Very reader friendly! And yet based on strong theory!’David Schwarzer, Ph.D., Montclair State University, USA‘Issues of adult education, immigration, and literacy development are catapulted to the forefront. Blending theory and practice makes the text relevant to the transnational conditions of our times. Authors weave a collective wisdom in this highly accessible yet theoretically robust book. Focusing on refugees' and immigrants’ diverse yet personal needs, this volume provides the reader practical guidance and highly descriptive context to make it relevant to their communities' teaching, learning, and development process.’Miguel A. Guajardo, Ph.D., Texas State University, USA
