This book tells the story of how the students navigated their academic life in a predominantly white university to construct their own education. The voices of the students and the teacher, Felix Padilla, are carefully integrated into the text as they discuss the academic and personal challenges that arise from 'being different' and the joy that comes from developing a curriculum that stresses personal and cultural experiences.
