Abstract	The theory, practices and politics in using the label critical: naming matters -- We: complex relationships at the slash of insider/outsider dynamics -- Ethics of being with/in -- Same over time? An historical context written by Dini Metro-Roland -- "Hispanics are the new niggers" and other monocultural tales: narrative reconstructions -- Methodologies of possibility: theater of the oppressed as transformation -- "The times they are a-changin" -- Walking with strangers. "This book tells the methodological tale of a long term critical ethnography with a midwestern school district whose new language learning, transnational population was increasing. Rather than report on the findings of the study, the author shares the intimate methodological details of doing participatory ethnography of a school under transformation. Approaches aimed at shifting attitudes and possibilities included the use of Theatre of the Oppressed and analyses of monocultural mythmaking introducing new concepts. The author introduces an analysis of change that builds from a David Wood's deconstruction of time. Taken all together, the book illustrates creative and novel ways to engage in social justice transformation with school partners using participatory critical ethnography"--Provided by publisher.
