In this book, the voices of US transnational students at the intersections and margins of nation, equity, and higher education are loud and vibrant. It is through this very amplification of young adult voices that Glenn Hutchinson richly shares with educators and scholars the paths, limitations, and journeys of writing with and for our students and their communities. The commitment to justice in this book is bound to transform our conceptualization of community writing and immigrant-led activism. -Sara P. Alvarez, Queens College, City University of New York Writing Accomplices with Student Immigrant Rights Organizers serves as a model of how white writing teachers (and writing teachers writ large) can support the organizing work of students, specifically by contributing to students' efforts and partaking in the risk-taking that accomplice work entails. By positioning his students' voices and activism as central to, rather than segmented from, his writing classroom, Hutchinson showcases how writing classrooms can provide opportunities for students to do work that matters, to them and the world. Hutchinson engages with tough questions regarding privilege and positionality while making space for his students' perspectives and expertise to shine. -Laura Gonzales, University of Florida
