Reviews

While Transformations focuses on Mexicans in California, the authors place their study in a much wider context--the global context. This perspective is on of the book's most insightful features. . . . The information presented provokes educators, researchers and policymakers to take a hard look at how we are educating immigrant children. -- Harvard Educational Review
