The focus of this book is on educational equity issues affecting
immigrants and refugees around the world. Chapters highlight
educational approaches that build from experiential knowledge, draw
upon multiple languages, consider group identity, grapple with the
complexities of inclusion, address family concerns, promote
parental involvement, involve liaison with community agencies, and
view cultural differences as educational strengths. While the book
does not shy away from exploring the more challenging aspects of
the refugee and immigrant experience, it avoids dwelling on
victimology and rejects applying a deficit framework. Rather it
offers hope, emphasizing the potential strengths of refugees,
including their cultural capital and survival skills. The authors
also make cogent suggestions for structural, pedagogical, and
conceptual reform, with targets ranging from individual teachers to
educational systems to social, economic, political, and cultural
contexts.
