Contributors—key stakeholders in the education of immigrant Latinx children, youth, and college students—share how this rhetoric has exacerbated existing systemic injustices within K-Higher Education. They draw attention to counternarratives that speak to leadership and strength of community. Contributors include high school and college students and faculty, community organizers, and early career academics, whose voices are too often underrepresented in academic conversations. This book highlights professional and personal acts of courage, community organization, and the transformation of students and educators who are stepping into leadership roles to affect change. Understanding that teaching and learning are political acts, we call all those vested in Latinx communities to engage in small and large acts of agency to collectively impact change in our K-Higher Education systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough the voices of students, teachers, teacher educators, and education allies, Latinx Experiences in U.S. Schools provocatively debunks the anti-Latinx rhetoric and racial hegemony in the Age of Trump. If you are interested in challenging educational inequality head-on, then this is a must-read volume that elevates the lived experiences of Latinx youth—in and out-of-school—and turns school failure on its head.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Gilberto Q.

The book allows us to enter into the lives of students, families, teachers, and teacher educators linked by a common, heart-wrenching event – in this case, the election of Donald Trump. Through powerful and illuminating accounts in first-person voices and keen analyses of trauma-informed, meaning-making processes, the authors expertly demonstrate the importance of lifting up the wisdom and knowledge of students, communities, and educators. Prepare for full engagement of your emotions, intellect, and educator’s sensibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Gloria M.
