Rochon, University of Southern Indiana Advance Praise for College-Ready— “I am mightily impressed. This is one of the few studies to jointly address educational issues of African American and Latina/o youth.

Moll, University of Arizona, Language, Reading, and Culture“Rarely do we hear the voices of administrators, counselors, teachers, researchers, and youth from underrepresented groups and their families on what the college-going process means.... This work is a masterpiece as it positions Black and Latina/o youth and their families as contributors of knowledge.” —Sylvia Celedón-Pattichis, University of New Mexico, Bilingual and Mathematics Education“At a time when career readiness is emphasized more than college readiness for too many Black and Brown students in U.S. schools, Knight and Marciano demand that policymakers and educators make college a viable option for all students.
