Review

"This book is equally valuable for teachers, school staff, and parents. The authors include researchers and practitioners of immigrant and refugee education. The book draws on our perspectives on immigrants or children of migrants/refugees, educators, school leaders, and researchers. Based on a sound theoretical framework of the school community approach in the first section, the book gets into strategies on how to translate the theory into practice."—Comparative Education Review"In the face of dehumanizing systems, institutions, and relations that further stigmatize and marginalize immigrant and refugee populations, this book offers interrelated strategies that advance social justice through education."—Teachers College Record
