The contributors are education scholars who have a vested interest in gifted students of color and who are committed to improving educational and societal conditions for marginalized children of high potential and their families and communities. This volume fills a major void in the gifted education literature they say. Among the topics are gifted education programming: serving the native Peruvian, ramping up efforts for collaborating with Hispanic parents and families, talent in every community: a glimpse into the world of parenting gifted children of color, teaching to their strengths: good medicine for Native American education, the current state of gifted education in the Dominican Republic, and gifted children of color in the deep south.
