What a novel but powerful and essential concept: that art is a way of listening. In this book-international in scope and wide-ranging in its understanding of the arts-the authors present inspiring portraits of using the arts to affirm languages that are suppressed or that may soon disappear unless they are reclaimed and revitalized. They remind us that if we just listen to our students, and work respectfully and collaboratively with their families and communities, then the education of all students-monolingual, bilingual, multilingual, and emergent-will inevitably be enriched. --Sonia Nieto, Professor Emerita, University of Massachusetts, USA In this important new book, the contributors demonstrate how art can be incorporated into the educational experiences of emergent bilinguals. They also explain why we should use art to inspire and motivate students to dream and excel. --Pedro A. Noguera, Dean, Rossier School of Education, University of Southern California, USA The book provides educators with rigorous research and stories of inspiring practice to lead us into collaborative, meaningful and transformative action in our teaching and learning environments, Arts-infused strategies equip educators with examples that vigorously combat anti-Blackness; authentically welcome immigrant families; decolonize Indigenous communities; refute the violence of displacement; disrupt discrimination of cultural identity and challenge hierarchical frameworks on what counts as knowledge. --From the Foreword by Patty Bode, Southern Connecticut State University, USA
