Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

«This new work by Greg S. Goodman is a testament to the courage, resilience, and creativity of youth who have been sacrificed at the altar of capitalist education. Goodman movingly reaffirms the central imperative of critical pedagogy - that it must be a pedagogy of love tempered in the crucible of critical consciousness.» (Peter McLaren, Graduate School of Education, University of California, Los Angeles)
«Greg S. Goodman has written a passionate, personal, and well-researched book examining the experiences of disaffected youth. Hate and violence are portrayed with shocking honesty as these young people reveal their struggle to find meaning through connections with critical educators.» (W. Dwight Webb, Department of Counselor Education, University of New Hampshire)
«Every teacher should read this book. For those in teacher preparation programs, it is an invitation to channel their idealism into an investment in those (students) from the borders. For experienced teachers, there is insight that complements their experiences.» (Doug Minnis, University of California, Davis)
«Greg S. Goodman's book is a must read for every educator and parent who ponders why there is violence in our schools and why our schools have failed so many of our disenfranchised youth. Goodman gives 'life' to the student voices and allows the reader to enter into the world of several adolescents as they tell their personal journey of peril through life and the 'school system'. Reducing Hate Crimes and Violence Among American Youth provides insight to the reasons for violence and proposes more effective methodologies and pedagogies that may help students find success in navigating the middle and high school waters.» (Lynda A. Snauffer, Administrator, Clovis Unified School District, Clovis, California)

Reseña del editor:

As hate crimes and violence continue to hurt the innocent, our society has looked little beyond retribution and punishment for the perpetrators. This book breaks new ground by looking at the ways in which educators and school boards can work to develop transformational agency for those students most at risk. By developing alternative schools that foster strong relationships through supportive communities, disaffected youth can find hope and trust within themselves as they continue their educational and social development. Undergirded with critical and border pedagogy, alternative schools effectively build transformative agency within their students by genuinely caring about their success.
