The reader is divided into five sections which group together Darder's work around the following topics:
- decolonizing interpretive methodology
- race/racism/racialization
- Latino studies
- reinventing Freire

Each section includes an introduction written by the editors and the volume also includes a preface and introduction from the editors, an epilogue written by Darder, a foreword written by Gilda L. Ochoa and an afterword by João M. Paraskeva.
