Colleagues,
I am posting this for Erik Jacobson. Questions should be directed to him.
ALE Wiki May Day Online Barn Raising
Participatory and Emancipatory Adult Literacy Education
The Adult Literacy Education (ALE) Wiki is a collaboratively built site that covers dozens of topics and hundreds of pages.
It is located at http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/Main_Page
One section of the ALE Wiki is focused on Participatory and Emancipatory Education. It is located here -
http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/Participatory_and_Emancipatory_Education
This section of the ALE Wiki includes a bibliography, located here –
http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/ParticipatoryEducationBibliography
This bibliography is somewhat out of date and certainly represents only a small selection of relevant texts. In honor of May Day, we are holding an Online Barn Raising in form of updating the bibliography. You can either add new titles or add a blurb to the texts already listed. After a few days, I will post the revised version of the bibliography to the ALE Wiki, where it will continue to develop. This is intended to be the first step in revitalizing this area of the wiki, so I encourage you to revisit it and consider contributing to it in an ongoing basis.
To facilitate the Barn Raising, I have created a Google Document contains the bibliography. It is open for editing - there is no log-in required.
This document is located here.
If the link is broken, it is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DzmIqXcgr2PSkEB-RjkeNw8tlv1svzfcikl0FNYi8Mc/edit?pli=1
Please forward this to anybody who you think might be interested in contributing.
Thanks for your time.

David, the resources you shared provide vast incentives for reflection on so many pertinent topics, including the implementation of both emancipatory and participatory literacy. I wonder if there is still resistance to those concepts.
I worked with the Peace Corps in northeast Brazil in the 60's when Freire's contributions to literacy were just being felt. In fact, I implemented several of his ideas in my literacy work at the time. I am encouraging members of our Diversity and Literacy group to not only share ideas on this topic but to contribute to the resources on the wiki. Thank you! Leecy
