U Turn to God: Destiny of the Soul
by W. L. SorrellIs it God’s will for us to just accept death as a given and ask no further questions? Are we to be left dangling in the dark about these things; left to subsist in the ever-present fear of such unannounced uncertainty – to take death as it comes without so much as batting an eyelid? Or could the opposite be true? Could God’s intent actually be for the whole human family to acknowledge death in its proper light – for us all to arrive at a point where we fully understand that which we need to, and are completely satisfied not to speculate any further as to what lays beyond it? For surely this is the line in the sand every soul needs to come to; a defining point past which there is no reason to step – a time, a place, a state of mind, a spiritual standpoint at which we stop striving and finally find rest in the arms of God’s providence.

U.S. Latinos and Education Policy: Research-Based Directions for Change (Sociocultural, Political, and Historical Studies in Education)
by Pedro R. Portes Spencer Salas Patricia Baquedano-López Paula J. MellomWith the American dream progressively elusive for and exclusive of Latinos, there is an urgent need for empirically and conceptually based macro-level policy solutions for Latino education. Going beyond just exposing educational inequalities, this volume provides intelligent and pragmatic research-based policy directions and tools for change for U.S. Latino Education and other multicultural contexts. U.S. Latinos and Education Policy is organized round three themes: education as both product and process of social and historical events and practices; the experiences of young immigrants in schools in both U.S. and international settings and policy approaches to address their needs; and situated perspectives on learning among immigrant students across school, home, and community. With contributions from leading scholars, including Luis Moll, Eugene E. Garcia, Richard P. Durán, Sonia Nieto , Angela Valenzuela, Alejandro Portes and Barbara Flores, this volume enhances existing discussions by showcasing how researchers working both within and in collaboration with Latino communities have employed multiple analytic frameworks; illustrating how current scholarship and culturally oriented theory can serve equity-oriented practice; and, focusing attention on ethnicity in context and in relation to the interaction of developmental and cultural factors. The theoretical and methodological perspectives integrate praxis research from multiple disciplines and apply this research directly to policy.
