Based on extensive ethnographic data on children of immigrants (mostly from Mexico, Central America and the Philippines) as they interact with undergraduate students from diverse linguistic, cultural and racial\/ethnic backgrounds in the context of an urban play-based after-school program, it probes how children navigate a multilingual space that involves playing with language and literacy in a variety of forms. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eImmigrant Children in Transcultural Spaces speaks to critical social issues and debates about education, immigration, multilingualism and multiculturalism in an historical moment in which borders are being built up, torn down, debated and recreated, in both real and symbolic terms; raises questions about the values that drive educational practice and decision-making; and suggests alternatives to the status quo. At its heart, it is a book about how \u003ci\u003elove\u003c\/i\u003e can serve as a driving force to connect people with each other across all kinds of borders, and to motivate children to engage powerfully with learning and life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marjorie Faulstich Orellana\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138804959\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138804951\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/19\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Marjorie Faulstich Orellana","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44302195392767,"sku":"9781138804951","price":64.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b3e5074b-a310-40d8-9847-e2574f0452b2.jpg?v=1695160074","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/immigrant-children-in-transcultural-spaces-marjorie-faulstich-orellana-9781138804951","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
