At the time of Obama's draconian anti-immigrant policies leading to
massive deportation of undocumented, poor immigrants of colour,
there could not be a more timely and important book than this
edited volume, which critically examines ways in which immigration,
race, class, language, and gender issues intersect and impact the
life of many immigrants, including immigrant students. This book
documents the journey, many success-stories, as well as stories
that expose social inequity in schools and U.S. society. Further,
this book examines issues of social inequity and resource gaps
shaping the relations between affluent and poor-working class
students, including students of colour. Authors in this volume also
critically unpack anti-immigrant policies leading to the separation
of families and children. Equally important, contributors to this
book unveil ways and degree to which xenophobia and linguicism have
affected immigrants, including immigrant students and faculty of
colour, in both subtle and overt ways, and the manner in which many
have resisted these forms of oppression and affirmed their
humanity. Lastly, chapters in this much-needed and well-timed
volume have pointed out the way racism has limited life chances of
people of colour, including students of colour, preventing many of
them from fulfilling their potential succeeding in schools and
society at large.
