Critical Race Counterstories along the Chicana/Chicano Educational Pipeline (Teaching/Learning Social Justice) - Softcover
Chicanas/os are part of the youngest, largest, and fastest growing racial/ethnic 'minority' population in the United States, yet at every schooling level, they suffer the lowest educational outcomes of any racial/ethnic group. Using a 'counterstorytelling' methodology, Tara Yosso debunks racialized myths that blame the victims for these unequal educational outcomes and redirects our focus toward historical patterns of institutional neglect. She artfully interweaves empirical data and theoretical arguments with engaging narratives that expose and analyse racism as it functions to limit access and opportunity for Chicana/o students. By humanising the need to transform our educational system, Yosso offers an accessible tool for teaching and learning about the problems and possibilities present along the Chicano/a educational pipeline.

Review:
2008 AESA Critics' Choice Book Award Winner
"Critical scholars in the fields of Chicana/o studies, race/ethnicity studies, and education have been waiting for this kind of book...Educators seek ways to understand and deal with the growing Chicana/o student populations in their cities and states. Now, we will be able to hand them Tara Yosso’s Critical Race Counterstories as an excellent, up-to-date resource on the challenges and obstacles that Chicana/os and other students of color face as they move through the educational pipeline...Any course that investigates the experiences of marginalized groups or people of color, including various humanities and social science courses, could benefit from Yosso’s rich work."--Anita Tijerina Revilla, Aztlán: A Journal of Chicano Studies, 34:1 Spring 2009
