About this title

Review

With the future of our nation's economy depending on knowledge-based innovation and our fastest-growing populations being underrepresented, bridging the achievement gap-which should really be called an opportunity gap-has never been more critical. The responsibility to do so lands not with the 'new majority' but rather the educational institutions placed in and around their communities to serve them. New Directions is an excellent resource for all educators aspiring to achieve this goal. --Mildred Garcia, President, California State University, Fullerton

A smart synthesis of the challenges facing Hispanic students and faculty in the US. The message is singularly focused on institutional culture change rather than individual deficits. I applaud the work and its authors. --Ruth Enid Zambrana, Director, Consortium on Race, Gender and Ethnicity, University of Maryland

Hispanics' fast-growing presence in higher education demands new and creative ways of integrating their cultural assets and learning perspectives in the canon. New Directions offers invaluable insights in this regard. --Antonio R. Flores, President and CEO, Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities
