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":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48676647338219,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":71.32,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780791443224-1.jpg?v=1781637949","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9780791443224","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
