¡Qué BUENO! Is a book about the 50-year history of the BUENO Center for Multicultural Education at the University of Colorado, Boulder. It chronicles the building of pathways and access to educational opportunities for under-represented groups, particularly Latin@s to higher levels of education from the GED to the PhD. Concomitant to increased access to education, the book documents the role that the BUENO Center played in research and the development of new knowledge about Spanish speaking children and families that influenced the movement for bilingual education in the U.S., and that resulted in the creation of the field of Bilingual Special Education. Featured prominently in the book is Dr. Leonard Baca who led the BUENO Center for 40 years and has been aptly characterized as the gentle custodian of our collective dream for equal educational opportunities for Latin@s.
