Recenzje

"Kudos to Abdín Noboa-Ríos for his sweeping historical and contemporary examination of the poorly understood Latino educational experience. In light of rapidly-changing demographics, his injunction to policymakers and practitioners is for them to consider the urgency of time in the cultivation of constructive mindsets and in carrying communities in order to fully embrace diversity with a dedicated pursuit of the common good."-Angela Valenzuela, Ph.D., Professor, College of Education, University of Texas at Austin; Author of Subtractive Schooling and Leaving Children Behind
