Reviews

<p> This book contains important insights for individuals interested in urban education, the challenges of immigrant families, and the interrelationship between race, gender, and social class. Highly readable and theoretically based, this book should serve as a model of effective ethnographic research. ? CHOICE, September 2008, Vol. 46 No. 1
