Drawing on participatory action research conducted with students,
parents, families, and school staff in a Southwest community in the
United States, this volume contests the interpretation of the
achievement gap for students of Mexican descent in the American
education system and highlights asset-based approaches that can
facilitate students' academic success. By presenting the
Asset-Based Bicultural Continuum Model (ABC) and demonstrating the
applications in a variety of family, school, and community-based
initiatives, this volume demonstrates how community and cultural
wealth can be harnessed to increase educational opportunities for
Latino students. The ABC model offers new strategies which
capitalize on the bicultural and linguistic assets rooted in local
communities and offers place-based strategies driven by communities
themselves in order to be tailored to students' strengths. The text
makes a significant contribution to understanding the social
ecology of Latinx students' experiences and offers a new direction
for effective and evidence-based academic and health programs
across the United States. This book will be a valuable resource for
researchers and academics with an interest in the sociology of
education, multicultural education, urban education, and bilingual
education. It will be of particular interest to those with a focus
on Hispanic and Latino studies.
