About this book
Drawing on both extensive demographic data and compelling case studies, this book reveals the depths of the educational crisis looming for Latino students, the nation’s largest and most rapidly growing minority group.
Reviews
American schools are sleepwalking into a perfect storm—rapid demographic changes, an unforgiving global economy, and continually dysfunctional schools. Gándara and Contreras delineate the…challenges of the 'Latino education crisis' with empirical rigor, conceptual clarity, and humane concern. This is the book that everyone who cares about the American future should read and pass on to a friend.

Whether or not one takes issue with the grade-point averages and college admissions scores that are the conventional measures of student achievement, everyone has a compelling interest in better education for those who constitute a growing proportion of both the student and national populations. The discussion is worth review for anyone concerned about the progress of education in the U.S.
