Within the field of education, scholars are increasingly taking up <em>testimonio<\/em> as a pedagogical, methodological, and activist approach to social justice that transgresses traditional paradigms in academia. Unlike the more common training of researchers to produce unbiased knowledge, <em>testimonio<\/em> challenges objectivity by situating the individual in communion with a collective experience marked by marginalization, oppression, or resistance. These approaches have resulted in new understandings about how marginalized communities build solidarity and respond to and resist dominant culture, laws, and policies that perpetuate inequity. This special issue contributes to our understanding of <em>testimonio<\/em> as it relates to methdology, pedagogy, research, and reflection within a social justice education framework. A common thread among these articles is a sense of political urgency to address educational inequities within Chicana\/o and Latina\/o communities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;from the <a title=\"link to preview text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/10665684.2012.698149\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">introductory essay<\/a> by\u00c2\u00a0Dolores Delgado Bernal, Rebeca Burciaga &amp; Judith Flores Carmona<!--more--><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Table of Contents:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Testimonios<\/em> of Life and Learning in the Borderlands: Subaltern Ju\u00c3\u00a1rez Girls Speak -\u00c2\u00a0Claudia G.
