Portraits of Promise: Voices of Successful Immigrant Students
Portraits of Promise investigates the question of immigrant students' success from the vantage point of crucial developmental tasks and skills. Written in an accessible, journalistic style, the book will appeal to high school and college teachers, the general public, and the immigrant community itself. This empirical, asset-based account of immigrant youth adaptation is profoundly needed in our field. --Angela Valenzuela, professor, Education Policy & Planning Program at The College of Education, University of Texas at AustinThis book promises to be an important resource for educators. Immigrant students are a generally voiceless community, and Michael Sadowski provides a great service in allowing these young people the opportunity to speak and advocate for themselves. --Sonia Nieto, professor emerita, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
