"Issues in Latino Education takes on the national reality of the growing chasm between youth and communities with and without access to opportunity, resources, and power. Juxtaposing the testimony of Latino/a youth with the responses of their teachers, Professors Mariella Espinoza-Herold and Ricardo González-Carriedo create a telling portrait of the school dynamics that undermine these young people’s identities, even as the youth fight to ‘become someone’ and secure ‘the American Dream.’ Joining critical theory and anthropological analyses of school achievement for minoritized youth, Espinoza-Herold and González-Carriedo forge new theoretical ground that can only be gleaned from the students’ point of view. Equally important, the authors foreground the youth’s concrete recommendations for school reform. A critical-ethnographic account that poses answers as well as questions, Issues in Latino Education is a moving narrative and a compelling call for change."Teresa L.
