"This book is an excellent resource for educators, policymakers, scholars, and those interested in deepening their understanding of transnational youth who bring their linguistic repertoires, many talents, and resources across borders. The book offers a unique lens on Anzaldúan frameworks and multinational voices to inform our scholarship, community, and consciousness. This book is compelling, and each chapter provides a bridge to a better understanding of transnational youths who "have a lot to share with the rest of the community; therefore, they should stop being seen as a threat and consider them as part of a multicultural society" (p. 169)." - Rachel G. Salas, Teachers College Record
