This book documents how various aspects of these children's lives help or hinder their learning in elementary school.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This study provides a valuable new perspective on the degree to which the effects of immigrant status are limited by socioeconomic status in Mexican immigrant families.\"—\u003ci\u003eCHOICE\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Immigration is transforming the race-ethnic landscape of American schools, and the children of Mexican immigrants are the leading edge of this change. Their success in school and the resulting opportunities in adulthood will have profound implications across American society. This book is likely to become the classic study on the determinants of school achievement among young children of Mexican immigrants.\"—Donald J. Hernandez, University at Albany, SUNY, Former Special Assistant, U.S. Bureau of the Census\u003cbr\u003e\"Insightful, analytically sophisticated, and beautifully written, \u003ci\u003eMexican Roots, American Schools\u003c\/i\u003e provides rich insights into characteristics of children and the contexts of development that serve to influence their transitions into elementary school. Highly recommended for anyone interestedin understanding critical intervention points that could better the educational trajectories of Mexican-origin children.\"—Carola Surez-Orozco, Steinhardt School of Education, New York University, author of \u003ci\u003eChildren of Immigration\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"With immigration across the Mexican border at the center of national policy debates, it is appropriate that someone ask \"what of the children?\" Crosnoe's book focuses a spotlight on the family and school conditions of Mexican immigrant children. If nothing changes, the patterns documented in \u003ci\u003eMexican Roots\u003c\/i\u003e anticipate deepening inequality in our society and challenges for Mexican immigrant children, their families, and their communities. But Crosnoe's message also is a hopeful one. \u003ci\u003eMexican Roots\u003c\/i\u003e is a good, if sobering, read, recommended to anyone interested in the well-being of immigrant children specifically or in understanding schools as an engine for social mobility more generally.\"—Karl Alexander, Johns Hopkins University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents  Acknowledgments  1.\tAmerican Dreams for a New Generation\t  2.\tStudying Children from Mexican Immigrant Families\t  3.\tLooking at Three Domains of Child Development\t  4.\tExploring Three Contexts of Child Development\t  5. \tThe High Stakes of Early Learning in Math\t  6.\tWhat Have We Learned?\t  7.\tWhere Do We Go From Here?\t  Epilogue\t  Appendix\t  Notes  References  Index","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49405567369559,"sku":"9780804755221","price":67.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780804755221.jpg?v=1730492861","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/mexican-roots-american-schools-9780804755221","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
