Unlike the more usual approach of researchers producing unbiased knowledge, the \u003ci\u003etestimonio \u003c\/i\u003echallenges objectivity by situating the individual in communion with a collective experience marked by marginalization, oppression, or resistance. This approach has resulted in new understandings about how marginalized communities build solidarity, and respond to and resist dominant culture, laws, and policies that perpetuate inequity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book contributes to our understanding of \u003ci\u003etestimonio\u003c\/i\u003e as it relates to methodology, pedagogy, research, and reflection in pursuit of social justice. A common thread among the chapters is a sense of political urgency to address inequities within Chicana\/o and Latina\/o communities. This book was originally published as a special issue of \u003ci\u003eEquity \u0026amp; Excellence in Education.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57310722195838,"sku":"NW9781138302389","price":46.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781138302389.jpg?v=1778583437","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/chicanalatina-testimonios-as-pedagogical","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
