Who gives “Voice” or “Empowers Migrants” in Participatory Action Research? Challenges and Solutions
Given the power relationships between researchers and participants in Participatory Action Research (PAR), this chapter challenges the assumption that migration researchers “give voice” or “empower” participants, and advances the idea that such researchers need to uncover their own voice in the research process through dialogue, interaction and reflection with their partners. In the literature review on PAR, the concept of “giving voice” is quite…

Case studies of second generation youth from the Global South, southern Europe, and northern Europe
State-of-the-art review on policy and research of returning Mexican and stranded Central American youth
This paper aims to identify the basic contradictions that exist between Mexican pluricultural policy, which is built on solid statistical analysis of data on migrants and which is the basis of intercultural education policies throughout the country, and the fact that few of the intended recipients – mainly migrant youth – are afforded an adequate education in Mexico. While study of the social, political, and cultural implications of migration in …

Family involvement and educational success of the children of immigrants in Europe. Comparative perspectives
Recent literature has emphasised the importance of family involvement within immigrant families in determining their children’s educational pathways. On the one hand, the focus on family involvement and the transmission of familial resources becomes more important when disentangling ethnic educational inequalities for second-generation youth. On the other hand, particular practices of family involvement seem to counterbalance disadvantaged origin…

Immigration and Schooling
Comparisons to the "good old days" when newcomers to the United States purportedly learned English effortlessly and without the aid of special programs cloud debates of the education of linguistic minority children. This article considers the historical realities of an urban community in two periods of high immigration (1890 to 1920 and 1970 to 1990) to point out the fallacies and fancies of those tales of the "golden past." Interviews with Latin…
