Beskrivning
Among the many recent books on educational reform, Eugene E. Garcia's Hispanic Education in the United States stands out as a landmark work. Garcia vibrantly portrays what works in creating better educational opportunities and effective school reform. He also offers a telling reflection on the bicultural experience of minority groups in the U.S. Culture is an asset in any individual's educational attainment. Garcia shows how and why our educational reforms therefore must seek to build upon rather than downplay the native culture and language of minority students. Poignant stories from the author's life—and from many other teachers and students—make this a vital book for the university classroom, and for any reader interested in the rapidly changing dynamics of America's schools.

Recensioner i media

Provides a broad overview of the ongoing debates (language politics, cultural differences and identity, immigrant students, multicultural education, effective instruction and interventions, theories and explanations of failure, and public policy implications) as they apply to Hispanic students in U.S. classrooms. This theoretical and personal 'story' is informative and inspiring reading for those seeking a socially just educational system and society.
