Power Play tells the story of activist teachers and the very young together in a play-based curriculum in a public school in Texas. The authors narrate (with playful interruptions) a curriculum that is powered by the students' lived encounters—the languages, landscapes, beliefs, histories, geographies, politics, economies, ideas, people, things, matter, and matters of fact and fiction that students carry with them to school, that carry them to school, through school, through their lives.

Industry Reviews

"The authors offer a refreshing, critically grounded book that pushes the multiple boundaries and fronteras that children, teachers, and la comunidad cross and transform every day. Through the power of storytelling and the varied critical scholarship presented, childhood education in Tejas can be experienced as a 'trans-dimensional co-existence' for bilingual, bicultural children in Tejas and beyond-a necessary re-imagination. It is a must read for anyone interested in the nuevas posibilidades within contemporary critical childhood studies."-CINTHYA M. SAAVEDRA, THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS RIO GRANDE VALLEY
