Chicanas/os are part of the youngest, largest, and fastest growing
racial/ethnic 'minority' population in the United States, yet at every
schooling level, they suffer the lowest educational outcomes of any
racial/ethnic group. Using a 'counterstorytelling' methodology, Tara
Yosso debunks racialized myths that blame the victims for these
unequal educational outcomes and redirects our focus toward historical
patterns of institutional neglect. She artfully interweaves empirical
data and theoretical arguments with engaging narratives that expose
and analyse racism as it functions to limit access and opportunity for
Chicana/o students. By humanising the need to transform our
educational system, Yosso offers an accessible tool for teaching and
learning about the problems and possibilities present along the
Chicano/a educational pipeline.
