At the same time, it is essential reading precisely for the same reason, as it is packed with useful and frequently ignored information. Pro-educational change agents must read Dr. Noboa-Ríos’s work.

Practitioners must listen to and learn from the most informed voices of the nation to change tragic and shameful outcomes for Latinos. Advocates, policymakers, school of education professionals, and educators at all levels now have access to an indispensable resource for transformational leadership.” Samuel Betances, author of \u003ci\u003eWinning the Future through Education: One Step at a Time\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAntonia Darder: Foreword: Infusing U.S. Latino History into the Future of Education – Preface – Acknowledgments – Introduction – The Birth of American Education – Dual Systems of Education – \u003ci\u003eBrown\u003c\/i\u003e and Beyond – The Miseducation of Latinos – A Tripartite System – Contemporary Issues – Epilogue: Learning from History – Bibliography – Index.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang Publishing Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51039653101911,"sku":"9781433167362","price":77.62,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-story-of-latinos-and-education-in-american-history-9781433167362","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
