“This is an important and special book for so many reasons. Chapter after chapter the reader is presented with the rich voices amplified through candid, engaging, and truly enlightening narratives of Asian/American endowed professors of education who are at the top of their game. Too often the voices of Asian/American scholars have been muffled or not heard at all in education. The authors set out to change that here, and they do so by providing an insightful and refreshingly relevant volume that unapologetically unveils these scholars’ influential work and how their culture has supported it.”—Mark Anthony Gooden, Ph.D., Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Professor in Education Leadership, Teachers College, Columbia University
