The Jane Addams School for Democracy (JAS) was founded in 1996 to create a space for democratic education and practice for new immigrant families, college students, and faculty. It was conceived as a democratic organization--one with minimal, non-hierarchial structures that would allow participants to shape its agenda. Ten years later, more than 1500 participants at JAS--Hmong, East Africans, and Latin Americans--have become U.S. citizens. This book tells the story of the Jane Addams School in many ways through many voices, including those of nonnative English speakers.
