Publisher's Synopsis
This sourcebook offers adult education scholars and practitioners in academic, community, and work–related urban settings insight into the education and learning problems and needs confronted by low–income residents of inner–city communities. Additionally, it offers fresh perspectives and approaches to practice that can assist these residents in crossing the socioeconomic and race–ethnicity borders that separate them from more affluent urban communities. This is the 101st issue of the quarterly higher education series New Directions for Adult and Continuining Education.
