Community Literacy Journal 13 (1): 7-15. https://dx.doi.org/10.1353/clj.2018.0017.About this Journal Article: García article is an engaging and personal way to introduce students to the idea of what it means to listen to the histories and peoples who have cared for a place. Having taught in at universities where most of the students are not from the city or town that host their campus, the concept of community listening has been a generative way to frame our focus on learning from the people who have cared for that place.
