De fiecare dată când se gândesc la trecut, amintirile încep să-i bântuie, neștiind cum să scape din mrejele acestuia. ‘’...Trecutul ne urmărește temeinic....’’ Oamenii capătă trăsături demonice, sugându-și propria viață.

Mikel - un suflet forțat să sufere odată cu propria sa existență. Un suflet forțat de împrejurări să se refugieze în sine pentru a-i proteja pe alții. Totul presupune un preț. Pentru el, viața este doar un joc de cacealma care aduce cu sine consecințele. Cei mai buni dintre mafioți scapă, cei mai nepricepuți mor. Indiferent cât de mult suferă, nu-și afișează disperarea.

Poate că trecutul său tumultuos nu-i dădea pace, dar amprenta pe care i-o lasă fata care îi apare în cale nu o poate uita. Nu știe cum e să fii iubit, dar își poate da seama cât de d...
This book names and confounds the mono-mainstream assumption that invisibly frames much research, the ideologies that normalize monolingualism, monoculturalism, monoliteracy, mononationalism, and/or monomodal ways of knowing. In its place, the authors propose multi- and trans- lenses of these phenomena steeped in a raciolinguistic perspective on Bourdieu’s reflexive sociology to move toward a more accurate, multidimensional view of racialized peoples’ literacy and language practices. To achieve this, they first engage in a comprehensive review of literacies, languaging, and a critical sociocultural framework. Then, the distinct testimonios of four women underscore this framework in practice, followed by action steps for research, policy, and pedagogy. This book will be of particular interest to literacy and language education researchers.
As it stands, there is currently a void in education literature in how to best prepare preservice teachers to meet the needs of individualized learners across multiple learning platforms, social/economical contexts, language variety, and special education needs. The subject is in dire need of support for the ongoing improvement of administrative, clinical, diagnostic, and instructional practices related to the learning process. The Handbook of Research on Reconceptualizing Preservice Teacher Preparation in Literacy Education stimulates the professional development of preservice and inservice literacy educators and researchers. This book also promotes the excellence in preservice and inservic...

From the Introduction “This story seeks to nuance moments in my history as the son of diasporic parents. As members of the many who migrated, my parents became an “us” to a “them” in a world where being different felt threatening. They experienced their own undeserved suffering, while holding on to the dream of American Exceptionalism. Puerto Rican-Americans arrived with prayers on their lips, bibles and rosaries in hand, and though it felt like an expulsion from paradise, our colonial faith sustained us. The God we knew over there was also here, in our new hiding place called Spanish Harlem, fondly called, el Barrio. The faith inherited from 5 centuries of colonialism has grown in...
