The Plight of Invisibility offers unique contributions that inform
the use of a community-based research approach that examines
educational issues identified by urban, Latina/o communities. It
offers a new lens from which to understand the circumstances of
Latina/o students in schools as they navigate in social systems
that are in opposition to them, thus rendering Latina/o students
and their families invisible. Despite these challenges, the book
offers examples of community programs and resources that support
and address the needs of Latina/o students as they build resiliency
and determination to persist. Community organizations and
advocates, educational researchers, practitioners, students, and
policymakers will find The Plight of Invisibility useful to reframe
deficit discourses about Latina/o students and their families. In
addition, the book is appropriate for classes including methodology
courses focused on community-based research, educational policy
and/or college access courses, and Latina/o studies courses.

Illustrations and rhyming text, along with more detailed information, present facts about the history, culture, and landscape of New Hampshire.
Among the most stirring pieces of labor history ever written, this
autobiography of Mother Jones (nee Mary Harris) chronicles the life
of a woman who was considered a saint by many, and by others as
"the most dangerous woman in America." Widowed at the age of 30
when her husband and four young children died during an epidemic,
Jones threw herself into the social and labor upheavals of the
mid-19th century, speaking tirelessly and effectively for the
rights of workers and unionists.
