"Belinda Bustos Flores and Ellen Riojas Clark have written a gem for all pre-service (aspiring teachers), in-service teachers, or teacher educators. From the opening pages of Despertando el Ser, the authors deftly weave stories of Latina/o teachers valuing their cultural and linguistic heritage and struggling towards change in their self-perceptions as well as notions about others. Seasoned teacher educators, the authors and their contributors tell rich and complex stories of how transformation occurs within persons who have experienced oppression and are developing critical consciousness."-Mary Louise Gomez, Professor, Literacy Studies and Teacher Education, University of Wisconsin-Madison
