*Critical Issues in Mexican-American/ Chicano/Latino Parent Engagement in
K-12 Schools*

AMAE guest editors, Edward M. Olivos, University of Oregon, Oscar
Jimenez-Castellanos, Arizona State University and Alberto M. Ochoa, San
Diego State University invite submissions that address the complex and
diverse educational experiences, histories, and philosophies of the
Mexican-American/Chicano/Latino family. This themed issue deals with issues
related to the struggle for educational justice by
Mexican-American/Chicano/Latino families and communities and promising
directions for transformation. Work which deals with the diversity of the
Mexican-American/Chicano/Latino family and the social and cultural context
they provide for their children are sought. Stories of struggle and triumph
by Mexican-American/Chicano/Latino parents, families, and communities in the
public school context are also strongly encouraged as well as theoretical
and conceptual frameworks for understanding the
Mexican-American/Chicano/Latino family within the current geopolitical and
sociopolitical climate. Moreover, personal accounts by community activists
working towards community empowerment and self-determination using
traditionally activist and/or non-traditional activist practices (i.e.
Action Research) to challenge conservative curriculums, instructional
methods, and backlash educational policies and pedagogies are also sought.
Papers that address new and/or revisited theoretical perspectives and/or
highlight daily practices and pedagogies of transformation are welcomed.
