Challenging perspectives that often characterize Latinos as ‘at-risk,’ this book takes an ‘asset’ approach, highlighting the favorable linguistic, cognitive, economic, and cultural assets Latino children bring to educational settings. At the core of this volume is the notion that this country's diversity is a resource, not a problem.
