Review

"Read this book! It's so important that we end the separation between 'us' and 'them' those labeled 'prisoners,' 'criminals,' 'felons.' It is this separation and demonization of the 'others' and our failure to truly see, hear, and engage with those who have been locked up and locked out that makes it easy for us to remain in deep denial about what we, as a nation, have done. Inside-Out challenges that denial in a powerful way." - Michelle Alexander, Professor of Law, Ohio State University, USA, and author of The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness

"Turning Teaching Inside Out shows us what can happen when 'inside' students and 'outside' students invest themselves in each other and in a shared learning process - then apply the wisdom of their collective experience to the work of social analysis. The authors of these essays have helped give shape to a powerful learning model that links individual awakening, community engagement, and large-scale social transformation. This important book deserves to be widely read, and the program on which it is based deserves to be widely emulated." - Parker J. Palmer, author of The Courage to Teach, Let Your Life Speak, and Healing the Heart of Democracy

"It's so important that people can really talk to each other, hear each other, and learn how to build community together. Inside-Out makes space for that to happen, and to me, this is the real value of education. Teachers and learners, whether you're inside of prison or out, I urge you to read this book! In Turning Teaching Inside Out, many inspired voices present the reader with ideas about how we can infuse higher education with deeper meaning and create more justice in the world through dialogue." - Sister Helen Prejean, Congregation of St. Joseph, USA, and author of Dead Man Walking
