Despite their numbers, Latinos continue to lack full and equal participation in all facets of American life, including education. This book provides a critical discussion of the role that select K12 educational policies have and continue to play in failing Latino students. The author draws upon institutional, national, and statewide data, as well as interviews with students, teachers, and college administrators, to explore the role that public policies play in educating Latino students. The book concludes with specific recommendations that aim to raise achievement, college transition rates, and success among Latino students from preschool through college.Chapters cover high dropout rates, access to collegepreparation resources, testing and accountability, financial aid, the DREAM Act, and affirmative action.This very readable book combines rigorous scholarship with clearly stated policy recommendations.'Jorge Chapa, University of Illinois at Urbana ChampaignA compelling and comprehensive picture for the collective need to invest fully in the education of our Latino youth.James M. Montoya, The College BoardThis book offers valuable insights and productive recommendations for addressing a critically important topic: how to improve educational equity for Latinos, one of our nation's fastestgrowing but mostunderserved populations.Laura Perna, Professor, Graduate School of Education, University of Pennsylvania
