"This book is definitely on the cutting edge of educational sociology theory and practice." — Yali Zou, author of Ethnic Identity and Power: Cultural Contexts of Political Action in School and Society"This book synthesizes many of the current issues facing urban schools. I was particularly intrigued by the way it shed insight into specific pedagogical approaches that validated the culture of many urban youth by infusing their culture into the curriculum. Such examples of culturally responsive pedagogy are needed to engage urban students in learning. The book illustrates the disconnection that so frequently exists between the lived experiences of urban youth and the school curriculum while simultaneously showing how some teachers have made connections between the two resulting in powerful pedagogy." — Grace Cureton Stanford, Penn State University
