Civic Engagement in Diverse Latinx Communities: Learning From Social Justice Partnerships in Action by Mari Castaneda

Civic Engagement in Diverse Latinx Communities Reviews

Centering Latinx communities and social justice partnerships, this book addresses issues, practices, and communities rarely explored in the literature on civic and community engagement. The focus on diverse Latinx communities creates space to consider how the communities where we partner, the students in our classrooms, the issues being confronted in community spaces, and the identities we claim as facilitators and conveners of these experiences can (and should) inform our praxis in community engagement. The aims of all of the partnerships explored in the text to advance justice and to transform the social concerns that perpetuate inequality is a powerful reminder of the possibility of civically engaged teaching and learning. Civic Engagement in Diverse Latinx Communities is a unique, important and remarkable contribution. -Tania D. Mitchell, Associate Professor of Higher Education, University of Minnesota
