?This book is challenging, useful, insightful, authoritative, and hopeful--one that every adult literacy education policy and program leader, researcher and practitioner should read. With this work, Allan Quigley has made a first-rate contribution to our field.? (Jean H. Lowe, director, GED Testing Service)

?Quigley's perspective on adult literacy is fresh and provocative. Rethinking Literacy Education impels adult literacy professionals to reconsider what they are doing and why.? (Hal Beder, professor, department of educational theory, policy, and administration, Rutgers)

?Valuable in encouraging literacy practitioners to be more proactive in challenging misguided public policy and damaging literacy rhetoric.? (Elisabeth Hayes, associate professor, department of continuing and vocational education, University of Wisconsin-Madison)
