« 'The Power of Parents' is a superb contribution to the growing study of bicultural (for example, Latino) parental involvement in the public school system. In an engaging and intellectually stimulating manner, Edward M. Olivos masterfully crafts a case that authentic dialogue between bicultural parents and schools will not occur without tension or conflict. Drawing from models of structural inequality in society and anti-deficit thinking, and the actual voices of disenfranchised Latino parents, Dr. Olivos provides the field with a probing and intellectually useful theoretical framework that seeks possible pathways for emancipatory and democratic experiences for bicultural parent involvement. I highly recommend this outstanding book, particularly for use in teacher education programs. -- Richard R. Valencia
