“Reading about Haiti in the news, which focuses on the perspectives of political and economic elites, in Haiti and abroad, often leaves one baffled. Talking about Haiti with the majority of Haitians who are poor brings refreshing clarity, because they eloquently connect apparently unconnected developments into a single context of centuries of repression and courageous resistance to that repression. Tectonic Shifts faithfully conveys this perspective and its clarity, so if you cannot go to Haiti and speak Haitian, read it.”

"[T]he first half of the book offers a very detailed social, historical, and political backdrop for the personal interviews in the later portion. The reflections and insights by people who played significant roles in ProjetoSeringueiro bring it to life for the reader, and inspire awe at the magnitude of what was accomplished...Flying in the face of current American educational and political trends, Schools in the Forest reminds one of the potentially empowering effects of education on individuals and communities when the voices, needs, and participation of those being “educated” are actually heard and addressed. Anyone interested in grassroots social organizing or progressive education will certainly find this book well worth their time."
