"I was captured by the 'guts' of this book. It's a courageous and much needed volume which tackles, head-on and quite candidly, current world crises of power and dominance and struggles with persistent and pernicious racism. A fine balance of academic and 'real world' knowledge. An excellent contribution to discussions of education in broad cultural context. An amazing collection of scholars, activists and talented writers!" — Perry Gilmore, University of Alaska, Fairbanks"This is a fascinating book on the role of cultural identity for political action as well as the educational implications of cultural identity. The authors weave the notion of ethnic identity and power throughout each article, thereby providing the reader with compelling evidence that these notions have serious implications for pedagogical praxis." — Gilda Maria Bloom, San Francisco State University
