Transforming Education for Social Justice: Empirical Insights from Leadership, Equity, and Research in Action is a powerful anthology that brings together a collection of articles originally published in the Journal of Leadership, Equity, and Research (JLER). These chapters reflect a shared commitment to confronting systemic inequities and transforming PreK–12 and higher education through critical scholarship, equity-minded leadership, and community collaboration. As part of the Myers Education Press Ethnic Studies Revival Series, this volume is organized around three central themes: the role of educational leadership and transformative research for education reform and student empowerment, countering inequitable disciplinary practices through alternative and transformative approaches, the importance of student voice and activism for promoting equity and social justice. Together, these themes offer a framework for reimagining schools as spaces of resistance, healing, and liberation. In an era marked by heightened attacks on ethnic studies and diversity initiatives, Transforming Education for Social Justice offers timely empirical insights that support inclusive, justice-centered educational practices. The chapters draw on culturally responsive pedagogy, restorative justice, critical race theory, and decolonial frameworks to provide both a critique of existing structures and a vision for what is possible. This volume is an essential resource for scholars, educators, and policymakers committed to equity and social transformation. It is especially well-suited for use in Ethnic Studies, Educational Leadership, Teacher Preparation, and Social Justice Education courses.

We Are Children of the Corn/Somos Hija/os del Maíz: Husks of Hope, Resistance, and Latina/o Educational Success is a collection of empirical studies that explores the complex and multi-faceted journeys of Latina/o/x students. With maíz (corn) as the guiding symbol, this book incorporates indigenous teachings and knowledge to highlight the pillars and resources of support—referred to as "husks"—that nurture Latina/o students' growth, resilience, and achievement as they navigate the U.S. schooling system. This anthology offers examples that underscore the role of schools, families, and communities in shaping Latina/o students' trajectories from pre-K to higher education. The volume builds upon the parent book, The Chicana/o/x Dream, by examining the intersectional experiences of Latina/o students in varied educational contexts, the resources they access within educational spaces, and their familial and community support systems. Using the Framework of Atravesada/o/xs Nepantleando (FAN), the authors in this anthology illustrate how Latina/o students become nepantlera/os—change agents who create and foster diverse cultural spaces and advocate for transformation. The book is organized around three themes: planting seeds to foster college access, cultivating students to foster college readiness, and harvesting to support college completion. Through these themes, the volume aims to empower educators, researchers, and policymakers to foster diverse, equitable, and inclusive school and community spaces that amplify Latina/o student voice and center their experiences. We Are Children of the Corn/Somos Hija/os del Maíz is a valuable contribution to the scholarship on the Latina/o/x student experience in the United States. It is the perfect text for a variety of courses in Ethnic Studies and Cultural Studies.
