Using Gloria Anzaldúa's theories of \u003cem\u003econocimiento\u003c\/em\u003e as a critical lens, the authors examine several literary works including \u003cem\u003eSide by Side \/ Lado a lado\u003c\/em\u003e; \u003cem\u003eThey Call Me Güero\u003c\/em\u003e; \u003cem\u003eLand of the Cranes\u003c\/em\u003e; \u003cem\u003eEfrén Divided\u003c\/em\u003e; and \u003cem\u003eGabi, a Girl in Pieces\u003c\/em\u003e. Using these texts and others, Montaño and Postma-Montaño demonstrate how Latinx literature for young readers reveals the oppressions that affect the everyday lives of Latinx youth in order to destabilize the racist notions that inform them. Whether it is injustices in the agricultural fields, weaponization of deportation and deportability, or forms of exclusion based on gender, ethnicity, and race, the books in this study counter by imagining and then participating in social-justice activism that seeks to transform the world. Ultimately the lessons shared in these books will allow Latinx young people to lead us into a future where equity and belonging are as endemic as they currently are rare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 202\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.47 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 01, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47505182064818,"sku":"9780826366320","price":62.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/em1u8zWXKi9780826366320_f7f25ab0-7174-4896-a6e0-48669226ff2d.jpg?v=1779524372","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/tactics-of-hope-in-latinx-childrens-and-young-adult-literature-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
