Foreword by William Ayers
"The dominant theme in this book is of crossing borders . . . the boundaries of ignorance, the borders of literacy, the frontiers of full participation. It is about walls erected between reasonable dreams and unreasonable worlds. . . . Most important, it is about Chris Carger’s own effort to push the limit of what counts in teaching and in research."
–From the Foreword
"An important addition to our understanding of the lives of immigrant children as they pursue the American Dream through education."
–MultiCultural Review
This is the story of Alejandro Juarez, Jr., a Mexican-American youth, his family, and their experiences in a bureaucratic and frustrating public school system.
