Crossing Cultural Borders (1991) examines the day-to-day interaction of immigrant children with adults, siblings and peers in the home, school and community at large as these families demonstrate their skill in using their culture to survive in a new society.

Crossing Cultural Borders (1991) examines the day-to-day interaction of immigrant children with adults, siblings and peers in the home, school and community at large as these families demonstrate their skill in using their culture to survive in a new society. Children of Mexican and Central American immigrant families in Secoya crossed a national border, and continue to cross linguistic, social and cultural borders that separate the home, school and outside world.

Committed to participative research, Concha Delgado-Gaitan collaborated with the community to connect family, school, and community, giving birth to the ComitZ de Padres Latinos. This work shows how communities that pull together and offer caring ears, eyes, and hands, can ensure that their children thrive - academically, socially, and personally.
