PAR EntreMundos: A Pedagogy of the Américas challenges the standard
narratives of "achievement" to think about how Latinx students can
experience an education that forges new possibilities of liberation and
justice. Growing Latinx student populations have led to concerns about
"assimilating" them into mainstream academic frameworks. This book
offers an alternative, decolonizing approach that embraces complex
Latinx identities and clears a path toward resisting systems of
oppression. Educating Latinx students should involve more than just
helping them achieve in school but rather having them recognize their
agency to transform the larger structure of education to promote
justice-oriented practices. The authors offer a framework for such
transformation by honoring their theoretical lineages, proposing a set
of guiding principles, and sharing stories about collective social
action within and outside Latinx communities. PAR EntreMundos: A
Pedagogy of the Américas is a practice of liberation and freedom.
