Book excerpt: In 2009, Excelencia in Education launched the Ensuring America's Future initiative to inform, organize, and engage leaders in a tactical plan to increase Latino college completion. An executive summary of Latino College Completion in 50 states synthesizes information on 50 state factsheets and builds on the national benchmarking guide. Each factsheet provides state level snapshots about Latinos in the educational pipeline and the equity gap between Latinos and White non-Hispanics in achievement. Additionally, examples of how evidence-based practices improve Latino college completion at institutions of higher education are provided. Highlights from Nebraska's fact sheet include: (1) Nebraska had the 35th largest Latino population in the U.S.; (2) In Nebraska, 14% of the K-12 population was Latino; (3) In Nebraska, 9% of the state population was Latino. (Projections show a continued increase.); (4) The median age of Latinos in Nebraska was 23, compared to 38 for White non-Hispanics; and (5) In Nebraska, 13% of Latino adults (25 to 64 years old) had earned an associate degree or higher, compared to 42% of all adults. (Contains 5 footnotes.) [For the executive summary, see ED532055. For the National Fact Sheet, see ED532060.].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In an effort to recognize the complex challenges that lie ahead for Latinos in Nebraska, this report seeks to contribute to the ongoing conversations among policy makers and community leaders. It provides both an analysis of the demographic factors driving Latino population growth for the period of 2005-2014 and an overview of the socioeconomic trends for the period 2005-2013. By breaking down the socioeconomic estimates into three periods of time: pre-economic crisis (2005-2007), during the economic crisis (2008-2010), and post-economic crisis 2011-2013), we analyze how the Latino population in Nebraska has responded to the economic downturn" (first unnumbered page).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexican immigration to the United States—the oldest and largest immigration movement to this country—is in the midst of a fundamental transformation. For decades, Mexican immigration was primarily a border phenomenon, confined to Southwestern states. But legal changes in the mid-1980s paved the way for Mexican migrants to settle in parts of America that had no previous exposure to people of Mexican heritage. In New Destinations, editors Víctor Zúñiga and Rubén Hernández-León bring together an inter-disciplinary team of scholars to examine demographic, social, cultural, and political changes in areas where the incorporation of Mexican migrants has deeply changed the preexisting ethnic landscape. New Destinations looks at several of the communities where Mexican migrants are beginning to settle, and documents how the latest arrivals are reshaping—and being reshaped by—these new areas of settlement. Contributors Jorge Durand, Douglas Massey, and Chiara Capoferro use census data to diagram the historical evolution of Mexican immigration to the United States, noting the demographic, economic, and legal factors that led recent immigrants to move to areas where few of their predecessors had settled. Looking at two towns in Southern Louisiana, contributors Katharine Donato, Melissa Stainback, and Carl Bankston III reach a surprising conclusion: that documented immigrant workers did a poorer job of integrating into the local culture than their undocumented peers. They attribute this counterintuitive finding to documentation policies, which helped intensify employer control over migrants and undercut the formation of a stable migrant community among documented workers. Brian Rich and Marta Miranda detail an ambivalent mixture of paternalism and xenophobia by local residents toward migrants in Lexington, Kentucky. The new arrivals were welcomed for their strong work ethic so long as they stayed in "invisible" spheres such as fieldwork, but were resented once they began to take part in more public activities like schools or town meetings. New Destinations also provides some hopeful examples of progress in community relations. Several chapters, including Mark Grey and Anne Woodrick's examination of a small Iowa town, point to the importance of dialogue and mediation in establishing amicable relations between ethnic groups in newly multi-cultural settings. New Destinations is the first scholarly assessment of Mexican migrants' experience in the Midwest, Northeast, and deep South—the latest settlement points for America's largest immigrant group. Enriched by perspectives from demographers, anthropologists, sociologists, folklorists, and political scientists, this volume is an essential starting point for scholarship on the new Mexican migration.

Book excerpt: This publication is intended as a resource guide for teachers, students, and librarians interested in Mexican American culture, and for groups wishing to conduct local community research using oral histories. The Mexican American Traditions in Nebraska project was designed to document and preserve the richness of Nebraska's Mexican culture. The project gathered the stories of 50 tradition bearers and community leaders from across the state. Interviews revealed that church, family, work, pride, respect for age and wisdom, and endurance in the face of poverty and discrimination are recurring themes among Nebraska's Mexican Americans. Some traditions such as music, dance, and food thrive, while other customs, such as the recitation of dichos (traditional proverbs) fade. Over the generations, use of the Spanish language is ebbing. As the language is forgotten, some traditions are not fully passed on to the next generation. As some traditions disappear, others are being revitalized, such as marking the site of traffic fatalities with crosses and flowers. Three other expressions of cultural values documented by the project are military service, sports, and murals. This publication presents a brief history of Mexican American emigration to Nebraska, followed by a general overview of project results and significant patterns identified. Short descriptions of each of the interviewees and the topics they discussed are presented. A resource guide presents 29 organizations, publications, and media productions. (TD)
