Summary "Latinos and politics each get short shrift in the mainstream literature on education, and the intersection between the two is shamefully under-researched. This volume lays a broad and uniquely empirical foundation for filling that gap--Jeffrey R. Henig, professor, Teachers College, Columbia University, co-author of The Color of School Reform --
The Politics of Latino Education is a thought-provoking collection of readings based on data analyzed by some of the leading scholars of education politics. They document the political challenges-and opportunities-facing Latino educational achievement. This is a must read for anyone interested in the (increasingly Latino) future of American education.--Wilbur C. Rich, William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of Political Science (Emeritus), Wellesley College --
Education is one of the most important public policy issues facing Latinos in the United States today. In twelve revealing essays, The Politics of Latino Education brings together 24 accomplished and influential voices to examine the political factors that shape the Latino educational experience. With a breadth of expertise no other volume can match, this resource --Book Jacket.
