Recenzii

"The immigrant journeys of these professors are compelling! We see that identities are not fixed and that communities evolve over time. We learn that academics can make a contribution toward a more equitable and just society, where exclusion and assimilation are rejected and pluralism is embraced in ways that value the cultural contributions　of immigrants. A must read!"
— Miriam D. Ezzani, Assistant Professor, Educational Leadership, Texas Christian University
"Immigration is one of the most polarizing, controversial, and divisive issues in the United States today. Maysaa Barakat and Mariela Rodríguez’s timely volume speaks to these issues in a must-read collection of the lived experiences faced by immigrant academics in the United States. Each story shares the ways familial, political, cultural, social, and economic dynamics shape their perceptions, understandings, and work as educators. This book is a celebration of spirit, acumen, and theoretical insights that that should not be missed."
— Melanie C. Brooks, Senior Lecturer of Educational Leadership, Faculty of Education, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia
"This book can facilitate dialogues about how to serve growing numbers of immigrant students with cultural responsiveness, encourage attention and opportunities to the silenced faculty voices and, more importantly, manifest actions and activism for the pursuit of pluralism, equality, self-determination, and respect of cultural, linguistic and simply human differences."
—Yih Ren, Journal of Faculty Development
