Reviews

An important and timely book, this edited volume provides educators insights into the contemporary immigrant experience in America. This valuable contribution to the professional literature includes authentic immigrant voices, implications for instruction, and resources on immigrants and refugees for educators. -- Evelyn B. Freeman, PhD, Professor Emerita, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH Having come to a new country with dreams and ambitions for a better life, many immigrants and refugees find themselves struggling instead with prejudice and discrimination. Children are particularly vulnerable, as the language and cultural practices that have guided their lives now separate them from neighbors and peers. This book prepares teachers to understand and educate immigrant and refugee students through culturally responsive classroom practices. -- Terrell A. Young, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT
