The Chicana/o/x Dream: Hope, Resistance and Educational Success (Race and Education)

The Chicana/o/x Dream is an immensely special (and unique) work of scholarship that adds to our understanding about Chicana/o/x student experiences in higher education by centering students’ personal testimonios. Their testimonios illustrate the vast cultural wealth that students acquire in their communities and how students strategically employ their cultural wealth while navigating higher education. Further, this book also adds much to our understanding about the barriers young people must overcome between K-12 prior to arriving at the university. This book is a must read for scholars, students and anyone interested in hearing about Chicana/o/x students’ experiences in higher education.I recommend this book in the highest terms! Thank you Dr. Conchas and Dr. Acevedo for this important work!
