Change/Education: Issues in Perspective

<p>HOMIES is a study of a group of African-American men from the west side of Chicago known as "homies." This study explains the communication & bonding between these men. It exposes the social contribution of their alternative reality & explores its rationality. Information gathered from about 20 homies describes two differing homie cultures: "book smart" & "street smart." Additionally, four themes emerge in this study: 1) "I am who you're not--the culture that gets defined becomes the one that is controlled; 2) "The 'hood' is my real home"--"homies" rarely travel physically or mentally from the confines of their neighborhood; 3) "We are alone together"--they have maintained & supported their roles as social outcasts; & 4) "We can't & if we could, we don't know how"--they have created a culture that isolates them from society as well as denies them the tools to adequately fight the system.

Towards a Transformative Political Economy of Adult Education: Theoretical and Practical Challenges

Keewaydinoquay is an Ahnishinaabe herbalist & shaman who, in her childhood, was apprenticed to the famous Ahnishinaabe herbalist, Nodjimahkwe, thus falling heir to the traditional knowledge of the plant world among her people. The native peoples of America actually believe that there is an herb to meet every possible need. The word PUH-POH-WEE is an old Algonkian term that means "to swell up in stature suddenly & silently from an unseen source of power." It is particularly suitable when referring to fungi. The Ahnishinaabeg can find a potential PUH-POH-WEE in their ancient cultural heritage. This is a book about the harmony of tribal life in which Keewaydinoquay weaves the medicinal uses of fungi with tales from her own life. Keewaydinoquay is well-known in medicinal circles & tribal organizations in the Lake Michigan & Lake Superior area, also having connections with institutions interested in the anthropology & history of that area."

The Struggles of Getting an Education: Issues of Power, Culture, and Difference for Mexican Americans of the Southwest

Sparks, Barbara

The author presents an innovative approach toward diversity and oppression by encouraging the participants to act as experts on the subjects.  In keeping with models of adult educational theory, the author lets classes of undergraduate students identify and exemplify what oppression is, revealing eight categories of oppression and eight primary reactions that students have toward their oppressions.    The book ends with excerpts from student reflection papers and comments from researchers who apply similar discoveries to their study of oppression in society.  The book encourages the reader to study their own life to liberate their own potential.
