      abstract = {Drawing on perceptions, behaviors, and experiences of  students at an urban high school--both high and low  achievers--this timely book demonstrates how urban youth  can be meaningfully engaged in learning mathematics. This  resource offers practical insights for pre- and inservice  teachers and administrators on facilitating positive  interactions, engagement, and achievement in mathematics,  particularly with Black and Latino/a students. It also  examines societal perceptions of urban students and how  these affect teaching and learning, policies, and  mathematics outcomes. --from publisher description},
