The peer-reviewed Community Literacy Journal seeks book and/or

We invite you to submit reviews that you feel should be included in

mainstream educational and work institutions. It can be found in
institutionalized programs devoted to adult education or lifelong
learning or work with marginalized populations, but it can also be
found in more informal, ad hoc projects.
