"""Breathtaking! Connecting the dots between American imperialism abroad and cultural imperialism through U.S. schooling, Re-membering Culture offers paradigm-shifting lenses for examining the repression of and renewal by Hmong Americans while also rattling taken-for-granted narratives about diversity, democracy, and critical pedagogy more broadly. Once again, the brilliant Bic Ngo has offered a much-needed intervention for all educators and advocates committed to justice in and through education.""—Kevin K. Kumashiro, author of Surrendered: Why Progressives Are Losing the Biggest Battles in Education ""In this highly engaging critical ethnographic work set in an urban U.S. high school with a substantial Hmong American student population, Bic Ngo skillfully challenges static notions of diversity, culture, and identity. By revealing the complexity of views and struggles of students, teachers, staff, parents, and community leaders, Re-membering Culture provides a wealth of insights for educational researchers and practitioners to consider in providing schooling that is truly culturally sustaining.""—Wayne E.
