Beskrivning

Latina Leadership focuses on the narratives, scholarly lives, pedagogies, and educational activism of established and emerging Latina leaders in K-16 educational environments. As the first edited collection foregrounding the voices of Latina educators who talk back to, with, and for themselves and the student communities with whom they work, this volume highlights the ways in which these leaders shape educational practices. Contributors illustrate, through their grounded stories, how they navigate institutionalized oppression while sustaining themselves and their communities both in and outside of the academy. The collection also outlines the many identities embedded within the term ""Latina,"" showcasing how Latina scholars grapple with various experiences while seeking to remain accountable to each other and to their families and communities. This book serves as a model and a source of support for emerging Latina leaders who can learn from the stories shared in this volume.

Recensioner i media

These authors have collectively responded to multiple, intersecting issues facing Latina educators, students, and activists with brilliance, nuance, care/love, and rigor. They have accomplished the task of highlighting the often unseen, overlooked, and undervalued labor and intellectual legacies of Latinas in education. Currently, there is not enough published in mainstream university presses and academic journals which engages these kinds of Latina perspectives, especially in their varied forms, something this volume accomplishes in no uncertain terms.
