Healing Multicultural America (1993) looks at a group of Mexican
immigrants who managed to understand and use the US democratic
system to gain access to the 'American Dream'. The book aims to
assist its readers to understand the significance of the politics
of education for ethnic minorities. The authors point up the
gravity of the problems experienced by minority groups worldwide
which cannot be underestimated: problems such as inter-ethnic
conflict, cultural tensions, poverty, alienation, violence and
self-rejection.
Universities are facing budget crises and growing competition, with
many leaders clinging to older methods of leadership. This results
in institutions with unprecedented deficits, decreased enrolments,
and low graduation rates. What tools are necessary to succeed in
the ever-changing and diversifying higher education market? In this
book, the authors provide a model for leading universities in
rapidly changing environments. Using the University of Houston as
their case study, examining the institution's explosive growth
under the transformative leadership of President Renu Khator and
her team. The President's success in the realms of fundraising,
organizational architecture, development, crisis management, and
building campus culture are all facets of a revolutionary
leadership model that can be replicated as a new style of academic
governance. Transformational University Leadership presents a model
of leadership for higher education institutions in the 21st
century. With a special focus on gender and culture, the authors
explore the leadership tactics and strategies university presidents
use to uplift the University from a regional campus to a tier 1
research powerhouse. Offering strategies, anecdotes, and
transferable methods for university leaders seeking to elevate
their institution and thrive in the 21st century academic market.
This book focuses on the literacy beliefs and practices of parents
and children from Asian and Latinx heritage backgrounds. In the US,
children from Asian and Latinx immigrant backgrounds represent the
largest population of dual language learners in schools. While
existing research has paid significant attention to the roles of
parenting and the home literacy environment on children's literacy
development, relatively little attention has been allocated to
immigrant families. Chapters aim to meet the need in the field to
understand the roles of culture and immigrant experiences on
children's literacy learning and development, including immigrant
families' home environments and parents' involvement in
literacy-related activities in both English and the parents' native
language. As Hispanic/Latinx and Asian American populations grow in
the US, this book answers an urgent call for school systems and
child and family professionals to be aware of issues in this area
and how to address them in culturally responsive ways.
