Civic Engagement in Diverse Latinx Communities cover

Students, faculty, and community partners alike will find Civic Engagement in Diverse Latinx Communities: Learning From Social Justice Partnerships in Action accessible not only because it includes an array of examples regarding Latinx civic engagement, but it also demonstrates that personal experiences are powerful tools for the production of new knowledge. This book reveals an epistemology of social justice that aims to investigate and develop a new Latinx community-university praxis for how to engage with diverse communities in the twenty-first century.

“Centering Latinx communities and social justice partnerships, this book addresses issues, practices, and communities rarely explored in the literature on civic and community engagement. The focus on diverse Latinx communities creates space to consider how the communities where we partner, the students in our classrooms, the issues being confronted in community spaces, and the identities we claim as facilitators and conveners of these experiences can (and should) inform our praxis in community engagement. The aims of all of the partnerships explored in the text to advance justice and to transform the social concerns that perpetuate inequality is a powerful reminder of the possibility of civically engaged teaching and learning. Civic Engagement in Diverse Latinx Communities is a unique, important and remarkable contribution.” —Tania D. Mitchell, Associate Professor of Higher Education, University of Minnesota
