Parallel encounters: Culture at the Canada-US border

Abstract

year, it is crucial to utilize their skills and knowledge, and the book neatly outlines the existing challenges facing immigrant and refugee children in the education system, and evidence-based recommendations for policy change. As a first-generation immigrant parent who also has work experience with immigrants and refugee torture survivors, i found the content of the book deeply resonating with me on a personal and a professional level. This book can be an effective resource for teachers, teachers in training, and social workers working with refugee families and children. The book unravels many of our own implicatedness in prolonging social injustice with regards to the education of refugee students. various research articles in the book unearth the impact of social inequities on immigrant and refugee students in Canada, and its contribution to the ongoing legacy of colonialism.
