"" Black Immigrant Literacies serves as both a scholarly work and a practical resource.... Smith equips educators, researchers, and policymakers with insightful tools to acknowledge the multi-layered challenges confronted by these students while actively fostering more equitable and culturally sustaining learning environments."" --Caribbean Educational Research Journal ""Dr. Smith presents a well-researched framework that centralizes race in the education and literacies of Black immigrant youth in the United States and beyond.... She outlines strategies for supporting students of color, offering practical guidance for teachers, parents, and communities to actively engage in fostering students' literacy development."" --Critical Inquiry in Language Studies ""I feel like this book has given me a Black immigrant literacies lens. I now see how students who could speak English in diverse ways were often misclassified or silenced due to the delegitimization that occurs in school contexts.... It's a transformative work that challenges conventional understanding of literacy, identity, and education, while also compelling us to reconsider our preconceptions about who multilingual students are."" --Teachers College Record ""Presents a compelling vision and framework for reaching and teaching Black immigrant youth by explicitly attending to the intersections of race, culture, language, and migration."" --Journal of Education for Multilingualism ""Smith offers valuable tools specifically beneficial to educators in urban settings grappling with the achievement gap.... Though Smith centers the literacies of Black immigrants, the framework's alignment with multiliteracies concepts applies to supporting all students' literacy practices."" --The Urban Review ""Smith's book is a resource that can transform instructional practices by equipping educators with the skills and knowledge in the field of literacy in supporting students from diverse backgrounds. The organization, style, and length of the book are appropriate for preservice and in-service teachers, and with the increase in the number of diverse students in K-12 education, this book is a ""must-have"" for literacy teachers."" --Journal of Black Studies ""Smith's book stands as a seminal work that not only deepens our understanding of Black immigrant literacies but also provides invaluable insights for educators and policymakers seeking to create more inclusive and equitable learning environments."" --Journal of Language and Literacy Education
