Review

"Bill Bigelow has written a wonderful book on critical teaching, filled with examples, resources, and how to transform theory into practice. With ingenuity and integrity, Bigelow pushes to the limits of what's possible in public education." -- Ira Shor "City University of NY Graduate School; author (with Paulo Freire) of A Pedagogy for Liberation"

"This is exactly what we need--teachings on Mexican migration to the U.S., one of the most vital issues we face today. It's about the momentous clashes of economics, politics, and race. The Line Between Us has the clarity and weight to guide us through these complex and perplexing concerns." -- Luis J. Rodriguez "author of Always Running, and editor of the online Chicano magazine, Xispas.com"

"A greatly needed guide to help break down the growing divisions in this country. As the daughter of a Mexican immigrant, remembering how the next-door neighbor's Anglo daughter was not allowed to play with me, I can only wish young people had been exposed to the thought-provoking information and ideas contained in The Line Between Us." -- Elizabeth (Betita) Martinez "Chicana activist, educator, and author of 500 Years of Chicano History in Pictures"

"At a time when we are increasingly separated by perceptions of 'us' and 'them,' The Line Between Us helps us understand the global 'us.' The book invites students to connect the dots between social, environmental, and political issues, and discover our common ground across borders." -- Medea Benjamin "Co-founder, Global Exchange and Code Pink"
