“Teachers are uniquely placed to support undocumented students facing adverse circumstances and to challenge the narrative of immigrant criminality in the public sphere. This book should help enable them to do both.”
—From the Foreword by Aviva Chomsky, Salem State University
“This powerful book provides information, strategies, stories, hope, and sustenance for teachers and other educators working to support some of the most marginalized students in our schools.”
—Sonia Nieto, professor emerita, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
“In light of the current political climate, it is crucial that this information be available for educators and the community.”
