About the Book

In a period of increasing economic and social uncertainty, how do immigrant communities come together to advocate for educational access and their rights? This book is based on a five-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.

Review :
" Partnering with Immigrant Communities is a timely and responsible book. The work handles the complexities of immigrant precarity in the U.S., barriers for accessing mainstream literacy resources and institutions, and immigrant agency forged through congregation. Campano et al. push for collaborative research with minoritized communities that recognize and contribute to community agency without reinforcing a white savior complex. Partnering with Immigrant Communities is a significant contribution to current conversations in the field and a fruitful read for both community members and researchers." -- "Community Literacy Journal" "This easy-to-read book includes interesting and succinct history lessons on the immigrants in this locale. The authors appraise the community members as equal knowledge holders who co-create and co-design their learning experiences and advocacy activities. This book will make an excellent addition to any recommended reading for multicultural education, culturally responsive teaching, or any social advocacy courses." -- "Teachers College Record" "This text serves as an instructive and powerful framework for how to build coalitions across societal boundaries, demonstrating respect for the experiences of marginalized people as intellectual knowledge and working from place of genuine caring." -- "Journal of Language Identity, & Education"
