Summary:

Bagley (educational sociology, Durham U.) presents a counter-history of undocumented students living in the US, particularly in Arizona. He highlights a narrative of success otherwise not seen in the media and contextualizes it from the perspective of critical race theory and the history of Mexican immigration in general. The first of two halves frames this counter history in terms of a critical appraisal of the "master narrative" of American history and educational challenges facing Mexican-American students. The second half provides the meat of this counter-history with several students' personal experiences, highlighting those factors educational institutions can target to best serve them. He concludes with a chapter examining the role art can and has played in publicizing and promoting immigrant experiences. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
