US Education in a World of Migration: Implications for Policy and Practice

This volume explores how immigrants carve out new identities, construct meanings, and negotiate spaces for themselves within social structures created or mediated by education policy and practice. It highlights immigrants that position themselves within global movements while experiencing the everyday effects of federal, state, and local education policy, a phenomenon referred to as glocal (global-local) or localized global phenomena. Chapter authors acknowledge and honor the agency that immigrants wield by combining social theories and qualitative methods to empirically document the ways in which immigrants take active roles in enacting education policy.
