Download or read book Con Respeto written by Guadalupe Valdes and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Con Respeto presents a study of ten Mexican immigrant families, with a special focus on mothers, that describes how such families go about the business of surviving and learning to succeed in a new world. Guadalupe Valdés examines what appears to be a lack of interest in education by Mexican parents and shows, through extensive quotations and numerous anecdotes, that these families are both rich and strong in family values, and that they bring with them clear views of what constitutes success and failure. The book’s conclusion questions the merit of typical family intervention programs designed to promote school success and suggests that these interventions—because they do not genuinely respect the values of diverse families—may have long-term negative consequences for children. Con Respeto will be a valuable resource in graduate courses in foundations, ethnographic research, sociology and anthropology of education, multicultural education, and child development; and will be of particular interest to professors and researchers of multicultural education, bilingual education, ethnographic research methods, and sociology and anthropology of education. “This rich and absorbing study of Mexican parents in border communities leads to more complex, rather than single-minded, solutions to school success. Valdés sees to the center of things and deftly questions the merit of typical educational interventions aimed at promoting school success . . . these interventions, grounded in mainstream values, do more harm than good. They do not show respect for deeply ingrained familistic values—the cultural capital that immigrant parents bring with them on their backs and in their hearts from their homeland; and they devalue the social and linguistic competence of immigrant parents and their children. . . . Valdés does not provide solutions. She does, however, lead the search with her strong but cautious narrative voice for a suf?ciently complex and multi-leveled understanding of the challenges facing families who move across borders as immigrants.” —From the Foreword by Carol Stack

Download or read book C Mo Es Dios y Qu Es el Hombre written by Jes Enr Quez Rubio and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El ser humano tiene tendencia natural hacia su creador, como la abeja al panal, la cual está más allá de la razón y de los instintos. Es la convicción no aprendida de que estamos unidos a Dios, cualquiera que sea la idea que de Él tengamos. Nos experimentamos pequeños y desvalidos frente a su infinitud y poder, y esto nos induce a depender y caer, aferrándonos a la idea de que El Señor está obligado a proporcionarnos todo lo que necesitamos. Pero, Dios nos creó a su imagen y semejanza, igualitos a Él en su substancia y cualidades y nos dio los elementos necesarios para poderlo todo; y los problemas de la vida están ahí para ponernos a prueba, para obligarnos a ejercitar nuestras capacidades y a base de eso crecer y crecer, hasta llegar a ser grandes y poderosos como lo es Él y entonces fundirnos en su divina persona siendo uno con Él para toda la eternidad.
Download or read book Language Culture and Power written by Lourdes Diaz Soto and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1996-11-26 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of educational research have documented the best practices and optimal educational experiences for language-minority children. Yet, the current conservative climate in our nation openly threatens bilingual education programs in schools and communities. Over a nine-year period, the author collected data from bilingual families residing in "Steel Town" Pennsylvania regarding their educational experiences. In January 1993 the local school board and school superintendent decided to eliminate its nationally recognized, twenty-year-old bilingual education program. For the first time in the history of this community, the bilingual families organized themselves to speak out on the importance of these programs to their lives. The political struggle that ensued during the bilingual controversy in Steel Town led to asymmetrical power relations. The voices of the bilingual community leaders, bilingual educators, and, more important, the bilingual children, were disregarded by the decision makers.
Download or read book On Heaven and Earth written by Jorge Mario Bergoglio and published by Image. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller! From the man who became Pope Francis, Jorge Mario Bergoglio shares his thoughts on religion, reason, and the challenges the world faces in the 21st century with Abraham Skorka, a rabbi and biophysicist. For years Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, archbishop of Argentina, and Rabbi Abraham Skorka were tenacious promoters of interreligious dialogues on faith and reason. They both sought to build bridges among Catholicism, Judaism, and the world at large. On Heaven and Earth, originally published in Argentina in 2010, brings together a series of these conversations where both men talked about various theological and worldly issues, including God, fundamentalism, atheism, abortion, homosexuality, euthanasia, same-sex marriage, and globalization. From these personal and accessible talks comes a first-hand view of the man who would become pope to 1.2 billion Catholics around the world in March 2013.
