Overview"Framed by the theoretical work of Gloria Anzaldúa, this volume focuses on the cultural and linguistic practices of Mexican-origin youth at the U.S. border to explore how young people engage in acts of ""bridging"" to develop rich, transnational identities. Using a wealth of empirical data gathered through interviews and observations, and featuring perspectives from multinational and transnational authors, this text highlights how youth resist racialized and raciolinguistic oppression in both formal and informal contexts by purposefully engaging with their heritage culture and language. In doing so, they defy deficit narratives and negotiate identities in the ""in-between."" As a whole, the volume engages issues of identity, language, and education, and offers a uniquely asset-based perspective on the complexities of transnational youth identity, demonstrating its value in educational and academic spaces in particular. This text will benefit researchers, academics, and educators with an interest in the sociology of education, multicultural education, and youth culture more broadly. Those interested in language and identity studies, as well as adolescence, schooling, and bilingualism, will also benefit from this volume." Full Product DetailsAuthor: G.

Sue Kasun and Irasema Mora-Pablo Conclusion: Expanding Transnational Bridges for a World Where Many Worlds Fit Irasema Mora-Pablo and G. Sue KasunReviews"""This book is an excellent resource for educators, policymakers, scholars, and those interested in deepening their understanding of transnational youth who bring their linguistic repertoires, many talents, and resources across borders. The book offers a unique lens on Anzaldúan frameworks and multinational voices to inform our scholarship, community, and consciousness. This book is compelling, and each chapter provides a bridge to a better understanding of transnational youths who ""have a lot to share with the rest of the community; therefore, they should stop being seen as a threat and consider them as part of a multicultural society"" (p. 169)."" - Rachel G.
