“Helena Worthen’s work is brave, exciting and profound. It is the product of a good heart and a good mind. Here is a gift to all of us who are groping towards a theory and practice that promotes learning for justice.”
“Workers hungrily devour education that reflects their lives and on the job experience. Helena Worthen skillfully weaves the theories of how people learn with real life experiences of workers she’s interacted with, both in the classroom, on the shop floor and on the picket line. Anyone aspiring to worker education will find this book invaluable.”
