Full title :Partnering with immigrant communities : action through literacy / Gerald Campano, Maria Paula Ghiso, Bethany J. Welch ; foreword by Maria E. Frânquiz.

Summary

In a period of increasing economic and social uncertainty, how do immigrant communities come together to advocate for educational access and their rights? Partnering with immigrant Communities is based on a 5-year university partnership with members from Indonesian, Vietnamese, Latino, Filipino, African American, and Irish American communities. Sharing rich examples, the authors examine how these diverse groups use language and literacy practices to advocate for greater opportunities. This unique partnership demonstrates how to draw on the knowledge and interests of a multilingual community to inform literacy teaching and learning, both in and out of school. It also provides guidelines for reimagining university/ community collaborations and the practice of ethical partnering.
