Valenzuela argues that schools subtract resources from youth in two major ways: firstly by dismissing their definition of education and secondly, through assimilationist policies and practices that minimize their culture and language. A key consequence is the erosion of students' social capital evident in the absence of academically oriented networks among acculturated, U.S.-born youth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51324771238111,"sku":"9780791443224","price":66.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/7AEVSeol069780791443224.webp?v=1788436916","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/subtractive-schooling-u-s-mexican-youth-and-the-politics-of-caring-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
