Beyond Affirmative Action: Reframing the Context of Higher Education

Link: http://www.wisc.edu/wisconsinpress.

Based on extensive interviews with Latino and Latina students and faculty, this book introduces a theory of "multicontextuality" that proposes that many people learn better when teachers emphasize whole systems of knowledge and that education can create its greatest successes by offering and accepting many approaches to teaching and learning.
