Review Quotes:
"Through the voices of students, teachers, teacher educators, and education allies, Latinx Experiences in U.S. Schools provocativelydebunks the anti-Latinx rhetoric and racial hegemony in the Age of Trump. If you are interested in challenging educational inequality head-on, then this is a must-read volume that elevates the lived experiences of Latinx youth--in and out-of-school--and turns school failure on its head." --Gilberto Q. Conchas, Wayne K. and Anita Woolfolk Hoy Professor at the Pennsylvania State University
"Editors Jiménez-Silva, Bempechat, and Gómez have delivered a volume of profound significance for readers seeking to understand the impact of institutionalized racism on the Latinx community. The book allows us to enter into the lives of students, families, teachers, and teacher educators linked by a common, heart-wrenching event - in this case, the election of Donald Trump. Through powerful and illuminating accounts in first-person voices and keen analyses of trauma-informed, meaning-making processes, the authors expertly demonstrate the importance of lifting up the wisdom and knowledge of students, communities, and educators. Prepare for full engagement of your emotions, intellect, and educator's sensibilities." --Gloria M. Rodriguez, Professor of Educational Leadership & Policy, University of California, Davis
