This important study affirms that Latinx children and young adults are uniquely positioned to change the world. Using Gloria Anzald a's theories of conocimiento as a critical lens, the authors examine several literary works including Side by Side / Lado a lado; They Call Me G ero; Land of the Cranes; Efr n Divided; and Gabi, a Girl in Pieces. Using these texts and others, Monta o and Postma-Monta o demonstrate how Latinx literature for young readers reveals the oppressions that affect the everyday lives of Latinx youth in order to destabilize the racist notions that inform them. Whether it is injustices in the agricultural fields, weaponization of deportation and deportability, or forms of exclusion based on gender, ethnicity, and race, the books in this study counter by imagining and then participating in social-justice activism that seeks to transform the world. Ultimately the lessons shared in these books will allow Latinx young people to lead us into a future where equity and belonging are as endemic as they currently are rare.
