Struggling To Be Heard offers various theoretical frameworks for
understanding culture and language diversity in Asian Pacific
American young people. The authors weave a unique tapestry
integrating curriculum, instruction, mental health issues, language
issues, delinquency, policy, disabilities, and cultures. They also
offer critical recommendations for teachers, social workers, school
psychologists, school administrators, bilingual professions, and
policy makers who work with Asian Pacific American children and
youth so they can make a difference in the lives of Asian Pacific
American students and address their unmet needs.
"The ethnics are coming" -and the fear of many observers is that
the quality of traditional disciplines will suffer as a result.
Immigrant Voices: In Search of Pedagogical Reform is a new book
which shows that such fear is unfounded. Ethnic scholars of
international repute come together in this new collection of essays
to meditate upon the single most important social phenomena in
America today: Immigration. Due to the ever increasing ethnic
diversity in today's school populations, the need to explore this
issue has become more critical than ever. Giving voice to a broad
range of complex experiences, contributors from China, Taiwan,
Mexico, Argentina, Spain, and Slovakia provide insight into the
numerous obstacles immigrants must overcome in order to succeed in
both the academy and society at large. Offering broad theoretical
perspectives, as well as powerful and unforgettable personal
narratives, this book serves as a invaluable resource for continued
efforts toward educational equity.
