LatinoLand
"A sweeping yet personal overview of Latino America that explores the diversity of our largest and fastest-growing minority. Census reports project that by 2050, as much as 30 percent of the US population will claim Latino heritage. But Latinos are not a single group of people. They are Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Salvadorans, Cubans, and many others. They are racially diverse, a random fusion of White, Black, Indigenous, and Asian. Some have ancestors who were here long before the continent's earliest immigrants; others came later, from many parts of the world. Their history and contributions are bound to surprise you. Marie Arana draws both on extensive research and on her own experience as the daughter of a Peruvian father and American mother, straddling two worlds as many Latinos do. LatinoLand unabashedly celebrates Latino resilience and character and shows us why it is essential that we understand this booming segment of America."--
Mercy in Action
Since his election in 2013, Pope Francis has tackled many issues of urgent reform within the church. Mercy in Action explores Pope Francis’s efforts to renewCatholic social teaching—the guidance the church offers on matters that pertain to social justice in the world. The book examines what Pope Francis has said, done, and written on six critical social issues today—economic inequality, worker justice, preserving the environment, healthy family life, the plight of refugees, and peacemaking. The book also highlights both continuity and change in Catholic social teaching. Author Thomas Massaro illustrates how on each social issue—from expressing solidarity with unemployed workers to writing an encyclical addressing environmental degradation and climate change—Pope Francis has worked to update the church’s message of social justice and mercy.
Knowing Silence
Learning from children about citizenship status and how it shapes their schooling There is a persistent assumption in the field of education that children are largely unaware of their immigration status and its implications.

Providing these children with iPod Touches to record their own conversations, Mangual Fig...
World Development Report 2023
Migration is a development challenge. About 184 million people—2.3 percent of the world’s population—live outside of their country of nationality. Almost half of them are in low- and middle-income countries. But what lies ahead? As the world struggles to cope with global economic imbalances, diverging demographic trends, and climate change, migration will become a necessity in the decades to come for countries at all levels of income. If managed well, migration can be a force for prosperity and can help achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. World Development Report 2023 proposes an innovative approach to maximize the development impacts of cross-border movements ...
Latino Fathers
The contemporary meaning of Latino fatherhood What does fatherhood mean in the lives of Latino men? In Latino Fathers, Fatima Suarez shifts the attention from how father involvement affects Latine children to how Latino men experience fatherhood and what being a father means to them. Suarez brings attention to the social forces shaping, sustaining, and undermining Latino men’s parenting, how their views and behaviors uphold, challenge, negotiate, and transform culturally dominant ideas of fatherhood, and the lessons they teach us about the reproduction of inequality in family life. Suarez focuses on the many different facets of fatherhood, including work-life balance, parenting challenges,...
