Regarding Educacion: Mexican-American Schooling, Immigration, and Bi-national Improvement (0)

The ''Latino Education Crisis'' not only threatens to dash the middle class aspirations of the nation s largest immigrant group, it is also an ominous sign for democratic engagement and global competitiveness for U.S. society as a whole. This timely book argues that this crisis is more aptly characterized as a ''Mexican Education Crisis.'' This book brings together voices that are rarely heard on the same stage Mexican and U.S. scholars of migration, schooling, and human development to articulate a new approach to Mexican-American schooling: a bi-national focus that highlights the interpersonal assets of Mexican-origin children. Contributors document the urgency of adopting this approach and provide a framework for crossing national and disciplinary borders to improve scholarship, policy, and practice associated with PreK-12 schooling.
