We are Americans - Undocumented Students Pursuing the American Dream (Hardcover): William Perez We are Americans - Undocumented Students Pursuing the American Dream (Hardcover)
William Perez; Foreword by Daniel G Solorzano
R4,133 Discovery Miles 41 330 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Winner of the CEP Mildred Garcia Award for Exemplary ScholarshipAbout 2.4 million children and young adults under 24 years of age are undocumented. Brought by their parents to the US as minors many before they had reached their teens they account for about one-sixth of the total undocumented population. Illegal through no fault of their own, some 65,000 undocumented students graduate from the nation's high schools each year. They cannot get a legal job, and face enormous barriers trying to enter college to better themselves and yet America is the only country they know and, for many, English is the only language they speak. What future do they have? Why are we not capitalizing, as a nation, on this pool of talent that has so much to contribute? What should we be doing?Through the inspiring stories of 16 students from seniors in high school to graduate students William Perez gives voice to the estimated 2.4 million undocumented students in the United States, and draws attention to their plight. These stories reveal how despite financial hardship, the unpredictability of living with the daily threat of deportation, restrictions of all sorts, and often in the face of discrimination by their teachers so many are not just persisting in the American educational system, but achieving academically, and moreover often participating in service to their local communities. Perez reveals what drives these young people, and the visions they have for contributing to the country they call home.Through these stories, this book draws attention to these students predicament, to stimulate the debate about putting right a wrong not of their making, and to motivate more people to call for legislation, like the stalled Dream Act, that would offer undocumented students who participate in the economy and civil life a path to citizenship. Perez goes beyond this to discuss the social and policy issues of immigration reform. He dispels myths about illegal immigrants supposed drain on state and federal resources, providing authoritative evidence to the contrary. He cogently makes the case on economic, social, and constitutional and moral grounds for more flexible policies towards undocumented immigrants. If today s immigrants, like those of past generations, are a positive force for our society, how much truer is that where undocumented students are concerned?"

The Chicana/o Education Pipeline - History, Institutional Critique, and Resistance (Paperback): Michaela J L Mares-Tamayo,... The Chicana/o Education Pipeline - History, Institutional Critique, and Resistance (Paperback)
Michaela J L Mares-Tamayo, Daniel G Solorzano
R525 Discovery Miles 5 250 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This anthology explores the relationships between Chicana/o students, families, and communities and the various school settings that comprise the education pipeline, from Kindergarten classrooms through postsecondary programs and postgraduate experiences. The essays, which appeared in Aztlan: A Journal of Chicano Studies between 1970 and 2015, present a historical overview that spans the 1880s to the present. It brings together the work of scholars who have elucidated Chicana/o education, and the resulting collection simultaneously historicizes current education research and bolsters our understanding of Chicanas/os' multifaceted relationship to schooling in the United States. Among the topics considered are bilingual education and cultural relevance, teacher expectations and student achievement, racism and sexism in postsecondary education, the Chicano movement and the high school walkouts, anti-ethnic studies legislation, school finance and governance, and Joteria identity. Together, the essays reveal how educational institutions have operated in contradictory ways for Chicana/o students: they have depressed and marginalized as well as emancipated and empowered them. The Chicana/o Education Pipeline presents the story of the struggle and perseverance of Chicana/o students, families, and communities as they have fought for a more equitable education.

Teachers of Color - Resisting Racism and Reclaiming Education (Paperback): Rita Kohli Teachers of Color - Resisting Racism and Reclaiming Education (Paperback)
Rita Kohli; Series edited by H.Richard Milner; Foreword by Daniel G Solorzano
R946 Discovery Miles 9 460 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Teachers of Color describes how racism serves as a continuous barrier against diversifying the teaching force and offers tools to support educators who identify as Black, Indigenous, or people of Color on both a systemic and interpersonal level. Based on in-depth interviews, digital narratives, and questionnaires, the book analyzes the toll of racism on their professional experiences and personal wellbeing, as well as their resistance and reimagination of schools. Teacher educator and educational researcher Rita Kohli documents the hostile racial climate that teachers of color experience over the course of their academic and professional lives-first as students and preservice teachers and later in their classrooms and schools. She also highlights the tools of resistance these teachers employ to challenge institutionalized oppression and the kinds of professional development and support they need to thrive. Analyzed through the lens of critical race theory, Teachers of Color exposes the ongoing racialization via counter-stories from thirty racially, geographically, and professionally diverse educators. The book concludes with recommendations that various education stakeholders can employ to improve the racial climates of schools and support the growing diversity of the teaching force. At this critical moment, Kohli offers readers an opportunity to strengthen their racial literacies and better understand the strengths, struggles, and power of teachers of color.

Why They Hate Us - How Racist Rhetoric Impacts Education (Paperback): Lindsay Perez Huber, Susana M. Munoz Why They Hate Us - How Racist Rhetoric Impacts Education (Paperback)
Lindsay Perez Huber, Susana M. Munoz; Daniel G Solorzano
R1,058 Discovery Miles 10 580 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book examines how racist political rhetoric has created damaging and dangerous conditions for Students of Color in schools and higher education institutions throughout the United States. The authors show how the election of the 45th president has resulted in a defining moment in U.S. history where racist discourses, reinforced by ideologies of white supremacy, have affected the educational experiences of our most vulnerable students. This volume situates the rhetoric of the Trump presidency within a broader historical narrative and provides recommendations for those who seek to advocate for anti-racism and social justice. As we enter the uncharted waters of a global pandemic and national racial reckoning, this will be invaluable reading for scholars, educators, and administrators who want to be part of the solution. Book Features: Uses Donald Trump's presidency as a case study to show how and why racist rhetoric can be used to mobilize large numbers of U.S. voters. Examines how the current administration has changed perspectives on contemporary racism that will have a lasting impact throughout the K-16 educational system. Demonstrates how the current discourses around race and immigration are resulting in increased racism and violence in schools and universities. Provides strategies for how anti-racist social justice efforts in education will need to shift to respond to the new landscape.
