Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This qualitative research examines the educational trajectories of 10 Latino male college students who were previously suspended and/or expelled in K-12 urban public schooling and where able to access higher education. Latino male students have encountered various forms of hyper criminalization across their academic journeys (specifically in K-12 urban public schooling) that shape and inform the way they perceive of these experiences and the racial and gendered biases they encounter as a result of their suspension and/or expulsion. Critical Race Theory and Latino Critical Theory are used as the overarching theoretical frameworks used to inform this study. This research also draws from the conceptual lens of Community Cultural Wealth and Transformational Resistance to understand how Latino males navigate their experiences with suspension and/or expulsion and how they respond to those experiences. This research explores how teachers, staff, and administrators in K-12 urban public schools view and respond to Latino student behavior.

This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latino males are effectively vanishing from the American higher education pipeline. Even as the number of Latinas/os attending college has actually increased steadily over the last few decades, the proportional representation of Latino males continues to slide relative to their Latina female counterparts. The question of why Latino males are losing ground in accessing higher education—relative to their peers—is an important and complex one, and it lies at the heart of this book. There are several broad themes highlighted, catalogued along with the four dimensions of policy, theory, research, and practice. The contributors to this book present new research on factors that inhibit or promote Latino success in both four-year institutions and community colleges in order to inform both policy and practice. They explore the social-cultural factors, peer dynamics, and labor force demands that may be perpetuating the growing gender gap, and consider what lessons can be learned from research on the success of Latinas. This book also closely examines key practices that enable first generation Latino male undergraduates to succeed which may seem counterintuitive to institutional expectations and preconceived notions of student behavior. Using narrative data, the book also explores the role of family in persistence; outlines how Latino men conceptualize fulfilling expectations, negotiate the emasculization of the educational process, and how they confront racialization in the pursuit of a higher education; uncovers attitudes to help-seeking that are detrimental to their success: and analyzes how those who succeed and progress in college apply their social capital – whether aspirational, navigational, social, linguistic, familial, or resistant.While uncovering the lack of awareness at all levels of our colleges and universities about the depth and severity of the challenges facing Latino males, this book provides the foundation for rethinking policy; challenges leaders to institutionalize male-focused programs and services; and presents data to inform needed changes in practice for outreach and retention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history, the Latinx population has contributed substantially to Nevada’s mining, railroad, farming, ranching, and tourism industries. Latinos in Nevada provides a comprehensive analysis of this fastest-growing and diverse ethnic group, exploring the impact of the Hispanic/Latinx population on the Silver State in the past, present, and future. This extensive study by a distinguished and multidisciplinary team of scholars discusses the impact of the Latinx population from the early development of the state of Nevada and highlights their roles in society, as well as the specific implications of their growing presence in the state. It also contemplates the future of the Latinx population and the role they will continue to play in politics and the economy. This in-depth examination of a large and relatively understudied population will be of interest to scholars and students who study disparities in health and education opportunities as well as the political and economic climate among Latinos and other groups in Nevada and beyond. A political, economic, and demographic profile, this book: Explores the history, growth, and diversity of the Latinx population. Draws on an array of census data, voter surveys, statistics, interviews, and health, education, employment, wages, and immigration statistics. Evaluates key trends in employment, education, religion, and health. Analyzes the dynamics of political participation, including implications of a growing Latino political electorate in a western swing state. Assesses key determinants of health disparities, educational inequities, and civic engagement among Latinos in the state. Demonstrates the impact of the Great Recession of 2008 and provides a preliminary assessment of the COVID-19 pandemic on Latino employment.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the effects of assimilation and cultural resistance in the lives of fifth grade Latino males. The study provides insights on cultural assimilation and cultural resistance for parents and pedagogues who are interested in defining and establishing educational democracy in our schools. Parents and the teachers were interviewed rather than the students directly providing different social perspectives. This approach provided validation of the response patterns, and an instrument to assess points of conflict between teachers and parents. The study examined the following research questions: (1) What are the forces of cultural assimilation that are faced by immigrant Latino families as they make decisions about the social integration of their children? (2) What are the perceived student social resistance behaviors and their consequences as they negotiate their social integration in the school context? This study used a qualitative approach, specifically structured interview techniques and critical incidents to identify behaviors that demonstrated current assimilation levels and, cultural response patterns of the students. In addition, parental and teacher perceptions of forces of social resistance, and their related consequences were identified. The findings of the study suggests that the forces of cultural assimilation faced by immigrant Latino students were such that none of the subjects had attained a high level of cultural assimilation by the fifth grade. A number of the subjects in this study were identified by both teachers and parents as exhibiting acts of cultural resistance. The study also suggests that factors such as current cultural assimilation levels, and cultural response patterns are contributing factors in the intensity and frequency of resistant behavior. The study identifies points of friction between parents and teachers. There was a high range of disagreement between some of the pairs of observers in all four themes: (1) cultural response patterns, (2) assimilation levels, (3) acts of resistance, and (4) consequences. Resistant behaviors should not be ignored. If children are silent, withdrawn, or aggressive in class, teachers and parents ought to be concerned. They must be sensitive to cultural resistance in order to minimize its impact before inappropriate behavior is manifested.

Book excerpt: Abstract: Latino males from an English Language Learner (ELL) background are not successfully graduating from high school and going to college. This study seeks to understand this phenomenon through narratives of young Latino males in the Los Angeles area. Guided by Yosso's theory community cultural wealth theory, this qualitative study examines the challenges experienced by Latino males in their high school English Language Learner programs, and how these challenges were met. community cultural wealth theory provides six tenets of capital that communities of color possess: aspirational, familial, linguistic, social, navigational, and resistance. These types of cultural wealth exist in the lives of students and can assist students in attaining successful educational outcomes. Interviews with 16 Latino male ELLs between the ages of 18 to 25 were conducted over a 2-month period. The 16 Latino male ELLs were divided into groupings of high school graduates in college, high school graduates, high school students finishing their diploma requirements, and high school dropouts. Along with these interviews, four parent interviews were also conducted in order to gain a holistic perspective of the Latino males' experiences. Latino male ELLs illustrated the utilization of multiple forms of community cultural capital in their narratives; forms of social, linguistic, and navigational capital made a difference in Latino male ELLs that reported not only finishing high school, but also attending college. Conclusions of the study will be used to make recommendations for improvements in counseling services, assisting newly arrived ELLs to high school, and specific changes to policy.

Book excerpt: High-Achieving Latino Students: Successful Pathways Toward College and Beyond addresses a long-standing need for a book that focuses on the success, not failure, of Latino students. While much of the existing research works from a deficit lens, this book uses a strength-based approach to support Latino achievement. Bringing together researchers and practitioners, this unique book provides research-based recommendations from early to later school years on “what works” for supporting high achievement. Praise for High-Achieving Latino Students "This book focuses on an important issue about which we know little. There are many lessons here for both scholars and educators who believe that Latino students can succeed. I congratulate the authors for taking on this timely and significant topic." ~ Guadalupe Valdés, Ph.D., Bonnie Katz Tenenbaum Professor in Education, Stanford University. Author of Con Respeto: Bridging the Distances Between Culturally Diverse Families and Schools "This is a must-read book for leaders in institutions of both K-12 and higher education who want to better understand success factors of Latino students in the US. Using a strength-based framework to understand and support Latino achievement is a new paradigm that must be considered by all." ~ Loui Olivas, Ed.D., President, American Association of Hispanics in Higher Education "In addition to being the right book at the right time, these editors should be congratulated for giving us a stellar example of how a research-practice collaboration comes together to produce such a valuable and lasting contribution to the field of school reform and improvement. Those who work in schools, universities, think tanks and policymaking centers have been waiting anxiously for this kind of book, and it’s now here." ~ Carl A. Cohn, Ed.D., Former Executive Director, California Collaborative for Educational Excellence, CA State Board of Education member, and Superintendent "There may not be a silver bullet for solving the so-called problem of Latino underachievement, but well-conceived solutions do exist. This powerful book offers strength- and asset-based frameworks that demonstrate Latino achievement is possible. Read this text to not only get informed, but to also get nurtured and inspired!" ~ Angela Valenzuela, Ph.D., Professor in Education, University of Texas at Austin.

Book excerpt: Feagin and Cobas provide the first in-depth examination of the everyday racism faced by middle-class Latinos. Based on a national survey, we learn how a diverse group of talented Latinos Mexican Americans, Puerto Rican Americans, Cuban Americans, and others respond to and cope with the commonplace white racial framing and discriminatory practices. Drawing on extensive interviewing, the authors address the recurring discrimination of ordinary whites directed against Spanish speakers and individuals with presumed Latino phenotypes. These incidents occur in everyday encounters, such as when male and female Latinos travel or shop. The book also chronicles the mistreatment that Latinos face from immigration officials when they cross US borders and from the police when they are racially profiled outside Latino areas. Critical and conforming Latino responses to recurring white discrimination are also extensively examined, as well as the diverse Latino reactions to remedial programs like affirmative action and to the ideal of assimilation into the proverbial US melting pot.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to acquire information that informs school leaders' efforts to improve learning results for Latino male students. Too few Latino males finish high school and continue on to higher education. High dropout rates and suspension rates and low indicators of academic success are prevalent among Latino males in U.S. schools. In contrast, in a few high schools Latino males achieve high graduation rates and levels of academic success that prepare them for post-secondary opportunities. This case study examined one school where Latino males consistently achieve impressive results. In particular, the study examined the role leaders played in influencing the development and maintenance of systems that resulted in strong learning outcomes for all students, and particularly Latino male students. Although state and federal accountability provisions require leaders to attend to learning outcomes for Latino students, school leaders may not always know how to pursue quality learning outcomes for Latino students, and particularly Latino males. The study highlights how school principals can lead teachers, support personnel, students, and parents in deliberate efforts that result in higher rates of learning, high school graduation, and college attendance for Latino male students.
