{"product_id":"latinaox-education-in-chicago-isaura-pulido-9780252086571","title":"Latina\/O\/X Education in Chicago: Roots, Resistance, and Transformation","description":"In this collection, local experts use personal narratives and empirical data to explore the history of Mexican American and Puerto Rican education in the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) system. The essays focus on three themes: the historical context of segregated and inferior schooling for Latina\/o\/x students; the changing purposes and meanings of education for Latina\/o\/x students from the 1950s through today; and Latina\/o\/x resistance to educational reforms grounded in neoliberalism. Contributors look at stories of student strength and resistance, the oppressive systems forced on Mexican American women, the criminalization of Puerto Ricans fighting for liberatory education, and other topics of educational significance. As they show, many harmful past practices remain the norm--or have become worse. Yet Latina\/o\/x communities and students persistently engage in transformative practices shaping new approaches to education that promise to reverberate not only in the city but nationwide. \u003cp\u003eInsightful and enlightening, \u003ci\u003eLatina\/o\/x Education in Chicago\u003c\/i\u003e brings to light the ongoing struggle for educational equity in the Chicago Public Schools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Isaura Pulido\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0252086570\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252086571\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/09\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.98w x 0.94d","brand":"Isaura Pulido","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993236111615,"sku":"9780252086571","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aaafd2a8-1143-4dbf-8ba4-476b1a64a4e6.jpg?v=1683323264","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/latinaox-education-in-chicago-isaura-pulido-9780252086571","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
