In The Latinx Guide to Graduate School Genevieve Negron-Gonzales
and Magdalena L. Barrera provide prospective and current Latinx
graduate students in the humanities and social sciences fields with
a roadmap for surviving and thriving in advanced-degree programs.
They clearly document the unwritten rules of graduate education
that impact Latinx students, demystifying and clarifying the
essential requirements for navigating graduate school that Latinx
students may not know because they are often the first in their
families to walk that path. Topics range from identifying the
purpose of graduate research, finding the right program, and
putting together a strong application to developing a graduate
student identity, cultivating professional and personal
relationships, and mapping out a post--graduate school career. The
book also includes resources for undocumented students. Equal parts
how-to guide, personal reflection, manifesto, and academic musing,
this book gives a culturally resonant perspective that speaks to
the unique Latinx graduate student experience.
The widely recognized "Dreamer narrative" celebrates the
educational and economic achievements of undocumented youth to
justify a path to citizenship. While a well-intentioned, strategic
tactic to garner political support of undocumented youth, it has
promoted the idea that access to citizenship and rights should be
granted only to a select group of "deserving" immigrants. The
contributors to We Are Not Dreamers-themselves currently or
formerly undocumented-poignantly counter the Dreamer narrative by
grappling with the nuances of undocumented life in this country.
Theorizing those excluded from the Dreamer category-academically
struggling students, transgender activists, and queer undocumented
parents-the contributors call for an expansive articulation of
immigrant rights and justice that recognizes the full humanity of
undocumented immigrants while granting full and unconditional
rights. Illuminating how various institutions reproduce and benefit
from exclusionary narratives, this volume articulates the dangers
of the Dreamer narrative and envisions a different way forward.

Encountering Poverty challenges mainstream frameworks of global
poverty by going beyond the claims that poverty is a problem that
can be solved through economic resources or technological
interventions. By focusing on the power and privilege that underpin
persistent impoverishment and using tools of critical analysis and
pedagogy, the authors explore the opportunities for and limits of
poverty action in the current moment. Encountering Poverty invites
students, educators, activists, and development professionals to
think about and act against inequality by foregrounding, rather
than sidestepping, the long history of development and the ethical
dilemmas of poverty action today.
