The 2014–2015 academic year marked the first year that American, preK–12 public school enrollment became majority nonwhite, with Hispanic/Latino as the largest minority. Population shifts have continued to occur, with Latinos now representing 28% of public school students.American public schools are in trouble, with national achievement reaching new lows and progress for nearly two-thirds of all 4th and 8th graders below proficiency levels and stagnant for years. According to the Nation’s Report Card, students of color rank lowest, with Latinos and African Americans consistently at the bottom.To understand the history of Latinos in particular, The Story of Latinos and Education in American History goes back in time to recreate the story. In this book, Dr. Noboa-Ríos relates the dark legacy before and after Plessy, as well as the post-Brown challenges that linger. For a better and more balanced future for the nation, America’s challenge is to ensure that Latino students excel. Understanding how and why this dark history has occurred is imperative to rectify the situation.

Abdín Noboa-Ríos, Ph.D., a native of Puerto Rico, is a social scientist and educator who has worked in the fields of education, mental health, and organizational development for decades. As a former practitioner and now researcher from the barrios of Chicago and New York, Dr. Noboa-Ríos has long observed and confronted status quo. Alarmed by how flawed "reform" in education is, disquieted by how poorly conceived "policies" have promoted rather than solved inequity, and concerned about America’s future, he strongly questions where we are going. In response, he bravely calls for a new paradigm—a necessary renaissance—to escape the current chaos and move toward progress.

“Throughout US history, Latinos have been marginalized and discriminated against. Not surprisingly, the experiences of Latinos, particularly in education, have been obscured and rendered largely invisible. In this important new book, Dr. Noboa-Ríos begins the process of excavating that history, drawing attention to the many ways in which schools have been used to maintain the subordination of Latinos in American society. As the Latino population grows and as its influence increases, understanding this history will be essential for creating a better future. This book will serve as an important step toward ensuring that the past is not repeated and that the future for Latinos in education is better and more promising than the past.”Pedro A. Noguera, Distinguished Professor of Education, UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies
