Nasario Garcia has spent a lifetime dedicated to educating others in a variety of settings, including universities and prisons. A native of rural New Mexico and a beloved writer and folklorist, in Beyond My Adobe Schoolhouse Garcia reflects on his experiences of being educated and of being an educator. He takes readers from his childhood in a one-room schoolhouse through graduate school and to universities and other settings in Pennsylvania, Illinois, Colorado, and New Mexico, all places in which he spent time teaching in various capacities. Beyond My Adobe Schoolhouse is a love song to education and a reminder to everyone that it is possible to find a life, love, and purpose beyond the circumstances into which they were born.
