"Community-based learning promises to help academic institutions make good on the ideals of active learning as well as of liberal education. For this reason, it richly deserves a full and serious trial at every level of higher education."
—Gerald Graff, Professor of English, University of Illinois at Chicago

"I have no doubt that this book will be warmly received by countless individual faculty members who in their own teaching have never lost faith in the power of the moral imagination."
—Edward Zlotkowski, Senior Faculty Fellow, Campus Compact, and Professor of English, Bentley College
