Racism! and Schooling is a timely contribution to Asian American studies and educational research." (Rachel Endo! Journal of Asian American Studies! Vol. 20 (2)!

(David M. Lee! Multicultural Perspectives! Vol. 18 (4)! 2016) "In Fanonian fashion! Lam reminds us that the subaltern not only speaks but writes back! talks back and researches back in order to humanize the struggle for liberation associated with the U.S. foreign policies and criminalization of youth."
