Abstract:

First bilingual volume on family engagement in multilingual education,
providing evidence of the need for schools to work with Latinx
families, communities and students, to the benefit of all involved.
This book examines the significance of family engagement policies and
practices within culturally and linguistically diverse schooling
contexts, through English and Spanish chapters which explore these
alianzas familiares/family alliances in a variety of multilingual
contexts.
It employs a wide range of perspectives including policy analysis,
theoretical discussion, programmatic frameworks and ethnographic
portraits to explore contexts across US states including rural and
urban communities, Indigenous language communities, special education
programs, preschool through high school settings and community
education programs.
The chapters offer examples of pedagogical, administrative and
community-based efforts aimed at countering the traditional
hierarchies of power that shape relationships between schools and
families from culturally, linguistically and economically minoritized
backgrounds. Expanding the linguistic representation in literature on
multilingual education, this volume includes chapters written in
Spanish and English and will be of interest to educators, researchers
and community advocates.
