“With methodological precision and poetic brilliance, Story(ing) Statistical Strategies using a Critical Race Feminista Quantitative Praxis moves beyond critique to offer a liberatory praxis that is both spiritual and strategic. Garcia, Vélez, and Pérez Huber model what it means to engage in quantitative work that is accountable to community, grounded in cultural intuition, and guided by ancestral truths. Story(ing) serves as a touchstone for scholars working at the intersection of Critical Race Theory, Women of Color Feminism, and quantitative inquiry.” -- Daniel G. Solorzano, Professor of Social Science & Comparative Education, Graduate School of Education & Information Studies, University of California, Los Angeles, USA“As marginalized voices are being violently silenced and history erased, Story(ing) Statistical Strategies using a Critical Race Feminista Quantitative Praxis illustrates the powerful role storying plays in quantitative inquiries and provides an accessible introduction to modern critical frames that equip researchers to employ story(ing) to challenge the willful ignorance sustaining oppressive inequities.” -- Michael Russell, Professor of Measurement, Evaluation, Statistics & Assessment, Boston College, Lynch School of Education, USA“Story(ing) Statistical Strategies using a Critical Race Feminista Quantitative Praxis powerfully reclaims the mathematical wisdom long cultivated in families and communities of color, and it is a foundational reading for all those engaged in quantitative inquiry. Garcia, Vélez, and Pérez Huber offer a framework for story(ing) numbers—as method, theory, and refusal—while reimagining mathematics and statistical analysis for liberation. Simultaneously, their storytelling cultivates healing, summons us to an antiracist praxis, and inspires!” -- Dolores Delgado Bernal, President’s Distinguished Professor, Loyola Marymount University, USA
