[From] an influential educational leader and activistan impassioned, penetrating critique and inspiring model for progress.Kirkus Reviews, starred reviewIt was a wrong turn that changed everything. When Luma Mufleha Muslim, gay, refugee woman from hyperconservative Jordanstumbled upon a pickup game of soccer in Clarkston, Georgia, something compelled her to join. The players, 11 and 12yearolds from Liberia, Afghanistan, and Sudan, soon welcomed her as coach of their ragtag but fiercely competitive group. Drawn into their lives, Mufleh learned that few of her players, all local public school students, could read a single word. She asks, Where was the America that took me in? That protected me? How can I get these kids to that America?Learning America traces the story of how Mufleh grew a group of kids into a soccer team and then into a nationally acclaimed network of schools for refugee children. The journey is inspiring and hardwon: Fugees schools accept only those most in need; no student passes a grade without earning it; the failure of any student is the responsibility of all. Soccer as a part of every school day is a powerful catalyst to heal trauma, create belonging, and accelerate learning. Finally, this gifted storyteller delivers provocative, indelible portraits of student after student making leaps in learning that arent supposed to be possible for children born into traumastories that shine powerful light on the path to educational justice for all of Americas most leftbehind.
