Candid and illuminating, this text exposes the educational
realities of Latinos (U.S. and foreign-born) in K-12 public schools
in the Western United States from the students' own perspectives.
Through the testimonies of students who struggled to graduate from
high school, issues that are often oversimplified and commonly
misunderstood are brought to life. The students themselves offer
pragmatic solutions to reduce the unchanging academic gap among
culturally diverse groups. Their accounts are then compared with
the viewpoints of a range of K-12 teachers on matters of community,
learning, race, culture, and school politics. Examining in depth
the question of how to best educate a growing culturally and
linguistically diverse student population, this critical case study
provides food for thought and provokes reflection on the critical
role that human interactions and networking play in attaining one's
dreams and human aspirations. Changes in the Second Edition Updated
demographics; New chapter: The Role of the Media in the
Transmission of Ideologies Related to Latino Students; Updated
conclusions and study implications.
