Generating Transworld Pedagogy: Reimagining La Clase Magica lays the foundation for addressing one of the greatest challenges in the 21st century: meeting the educational needs of a diverse society living in a complex, technology-driven world. It extends bilingual and bicultural transformative critical pedagogy by appropriating the use of mobile devices and digital tools within an after-school setting. Four theoretical concepts anchor this collection: the dialectic method, concepts of culture, a bilingual/bicultural critical pedagogy, and the notion of the sacred sciences. Generating Transworld Pedagogy showcases the intersection of learners' linguistic, cultural, and historical knowledge as critical tools for learning and for navigating the broader society. The volume serves as an ideal framework for preparing teacher educators and teacher candidates for a world in motion. It provides a deeper understanding of the conditions needed to create the ideal learning and teaching opportunities for bilingual learners. Special highlights include a comprehensive resource for integrating linguistic and cultural diversity within a technological and global perspective for 21st century teachers and learners; a resource for launching the model in new sociocultural contexts; an exemplar of the innovative uses of mobile technology and digital literacies within the learning setting; and a model for engaging in socially-designed community-based research that can extend to an international scale.

"La Clase Magica: Imagining Optimal Possibilities in a Bilingual
Community of Learners" vividly captures the social and intellectual
developments and the promises of an ongoing after-school project
called La Clase Magica. It is a blow-by-blow description of the
early transformations of a project that began as an educational
activity and slowly but deliberately turned into a social action
project whose aim was to serve those with low economic and
political means and little access to educational resources. This
multivocal account details research in action for effectively
serving Spanish-English bilingual speakers from a Mexican origin
community, as well as--on a broader level--the diverse populations
that increasingly characterize American society today. The focus is
on the early foundational work of the project between 1989-1996,
though attention is also given to the national and international
recognition the project has subsequently received, the
college-going patterns of its long-term participants, and the
transplantation of the project to other cultural communities.

Children in Mexicano communities learn to use language in a variety of ways. At times they use both Spanish and English in the same conversation or help friends and family members enter mainstream society by translating English to Spanish for them. Pushing Boundaries describes Eastside, a Mexicano community in northern California, analysing language learning and language socialization in the context of real, problematic, important activities in people's lives. The authors consolidate three separate studies providing a unique perspective on the ways bilingual children and their families use and learn language. With children using the language of home, school and community separately and in combination, the book reveals how these children use their traditional language and cultural knowledge as a critical component for learning their second language and its underlying cultural norms.
