Naima Tryman's life was a disaster. She endured an abusive childhood, severe ethnic and gender identity issues, the tragic deaths of numerous loved ones, and a near-fatal car accident all before she graduated from high school. The next ten years were no better as more people died, she struggled through college (eventually failing out), and developed a drinking problem. She went on to become the first African-American female firefighter in her town, and she thought that things would turn around for her, but they only worsened. Her depression deepened and the drinking got worse. She wanted desperately to turn her life around, but she didn't know where to start. Things continued to get worse for her as her surrogate son was taken from her and she was in another serious car accident. No matter what she did, she couldn't get herself together. Her attempts at both rehabilitation and suicide were repeatedly unsuccessful and she was on the verge of being fired from the fire department. While her story is remarkable in itself, the strides she took to finally get it together are truly inspirational.

The result is an original, fascinating contribution to an increasingly important field of study.

John Duly was an average man with little to live for...or so he thought, until the events in his life drove him to evaluate his own self-worth of living or dying. As a struggling alcoholic, John failed to acknowledge even his greatest achievements. His heroic actions in World War II were downplayed by his lack of confidence.

He started to question his feelings, his weaknesses. He started to gather the pieces of his past. Would they explain the reasons for his shattered stability as a man or would they only drive him deeper into his lonely persona?
In this volume, university researchers and urban elementary teacher-researchers coauthor chapters on the teachers' year-long inquiries, on a range of literacy topics that they conducted as part of a collaborative school-university action research project. Central to this project was the teacher-researchers' attempts to transform their teaching practices to meet the needs of students from diverse ethnic and linguistic backgrounds, and their finding that their inquiry efforts resulted in developing more collaborative styles of teaching. Because the everyday interactions between teachers and students are realized by the social talk in the classroom, the university- and teacher-researchers analy...
