<p>This powerful volume offers a critical and timely examination of how colonial legacies, global displacement, and educational policies intersect, shaping access to learning for forcibly displaced persons. Arar, Crawford, Örücü, and Bogotch have developed a must-read volume that challenges systemic inequities while highlighting transformative possibilities for educators committed to justice, inclusion, and refugee rights in education.</p>
- Michelle D. Young, University of California, Berkeley,
<p>The voices in this book provide paths forward that “serve as a catalyst for continued dialogue, research, and action aimed at creating more inclusive and equitable educational systems for all, regardless of their migration status or background”. Even as they do this, the chapters also look back to trace the deep roots of our current geopolitical, economic, and cultural systems – and global neglect - that are provoking the mass movement of peoples we are seeing now. Long held assumptions about 'value' and 'worth' and 'cost', never far from the surface, continue to shape our understandings of migration, immigration, newcomers, and displaced people. By fearlessly and unapologetically drawing that throughline from the past to our present situation, the authors boldly look to the future and help us see anew.</p>

This timely second edition of Education, Immigration and Migration offers new insights into the ways that educational leaders, policy makers, students, teachers and community members are changing their practice in light of global migration. Including research-based chapters that touch on both local idiosyncrasies and dynamics common across many contexts, chapter authors identify issues educational leaders face as they seek to lead schools and school systems experiencing immigration and better understand their current strategies for improvement.
As the relationship between educational leadership and immigration/refugee populations is not fully understood, this updated edition will help readers gain a deeper appreciation of the scope and nature of issues at local, national and transnational levels. In doing so, authors discuss “what is working” and “what is not working,” allowing for a sharing of ideas and approaches across borders. Chapters utilize cross-disciplinary frameworks, global-national data sets, NGO reports, and descriptions of local practices in educational leadership related to the education of immigrants, migrants, refugees and asylum seekers. Documenting these journeys and influences is vital to expanding the conceptual frameworks of educational leadership as a field of study beyond managing schools.
In hopes of drawing attention and awakening the field of educational leadership to the influences of [im]migration as a focal point, this volume will be of interest to state and local policymakers, educational schools, and university leaders as well as educational researchers.
Education, Immigration and Migration identifies issues educational leaders face and better understand their current strategies for immigration policies, school improvement, and classroom strategies.
