Abstract
In an attempt to preserve the field's collective historical memory, the authors in this chapter explore participatory practices at the Open Book, an adult literacy program in Brooklyn, from 1985–2002. Students' roles in shaping those practices are examined and reflections on the possibilities for building democratic communities in literacy programs, particularly in the current context, are included.
