The New Americans describes the life of immigrants and
transnationals in the Lower Rio Grande Valley where poverty is the
'training ground' for people's resilience and capacity to adapt to
different social and economic settings. At the heart of their
ability to survive and succeed is their ability to form a strong
personal and ethnic identity that allows them to accommodate new
life styles without losing their self-respect. Trueba shows how the
resilience and diverse cultural experiences of transnationals and
immigrants enable them to succeed in school and in their work and
communities. Trueba articulates Paulo Freire's critical pedagogy
with the sociohistorical school of psychology led by Vygotsky,
theories that are complementary and enhanced by the analysis of
instructional activities. The book is enriched by exercises
suggested at the end of each chapter, by a glossary, and by
questions for final examinations that permit instructors to measure
student proficiency.
