Description: Nuestra Voz: Memories of Our Education is a book that originated during the fall quarter of 1998 at the University of California, Riverside.  Represented in it are thirty student authors who are publishing for the first time.  All of them were undergraduate students, juniors and seniors, who enrolled in one of the courses I taught, Ethnic Studies 108F: The History of Chicano Education.  Although this course was officially listed as "social Conditions of Chicano Education" in the schedule of classes, I informed my students during the first day of class that we would be approaching the material as a history of Chicano education in the United States.  I added that while our readings would begin during the mid-nineteenth century, the preponderance of our readings would examine the twentieth century.  All except two students decided to remain with the class.  These students became the authors of the thirty contributions contained in Nuestra Voz.
