      abstract = {"Barrio Nerds: Latino Males, Schooling, and the Beautiful  Struggle presents a compelling window into the schooling  trajectories of Latino males, while also providing critical  and alternative views. These portraits of working-class  students and academics that achieved academic success move  beyond clean victory narratives and thus complicate our  notions of "success" and "rising up." Blending versus  separating the exploration of street kid/school kid  identities, we get a glimpse into the merging and collision  of multiple cultural worlds in ways that are liberating and  often painful and full of ambivalence. Additionally, we get  provocative takes on giftedness, the philosophical and  political dimensions of "home," and masculinities.  Ultimately, Barrio Nerds: Latino Males, Schooling, and the  Beautiful Struggle is a reminder of how academic  achievement is often embedded in gain and in loss and it is  a thoughtful meditation on how many Latino males of  working-class origins do not reject the past, but instead  use this precious knowledge to holistically live out the  present."},
