"Through both words and images, Kleyn and Porter vividly bring to life the day to day challenges, dreams and aspirations of nine transnational students—those we call ‘the students we share.’ This is a compelling book for anyone interested in addressing the needs of millions of students caught between two countries and two schooling systems. I learned a great deal from this book." --Patricia Gandara, University of California, Los Angeles, USA"The faces, words, ideas and feelings of transborder youth who have returned to Mexico from the U.S. come alive in Kleyn and Porter’s innovative use of language and images. This book not only offers a theoretical account of return migration, an understudied topic, but it also weaves stories and photographs in ways that let us imagine the world the youth inhabit. Kleyn’s descriptive language in this respectful account of her ethnographic work in Oaxaca is unique."--Ofelia García, Professor Emerita, The Graduate Center, City University of New York, USA"The relationship between written word and photographic image can create a third, dimensional experience. Living, Learning, and Languaging Across Borders uses that dance in a powerful way to help us all better understand the complex and deeply human conversation surrounding migration. Tatyana Kleyn’s scholarship and accompanying photographs by Tim Porter bring the stories of these brave transborder students and their families to life."--Lynn Johnson, National Geographic Photographer & Fellow
