The Power of Community: Mobilizing for Family and Schooling

by Concha Delgado-Gaitan

Book Overview

Fifteen years ago, Concha Delgado-Gaitan began literacy research in Carpinteria, California. At that time, Mexican immigrants who labored in nurseries, factories, and housekeeping had almost no voice in how their children were educated. Committed to participative research, Delgado-Gaitan collaborated with the community to connect family, school, and community thus giving birth to the Comit de Padres Latinos.
