Miller, Margaret – Community College Journal, 2011
El Paso, Texas, has been in the national spotlight recently as a north-of-the-border refuge from what has become the world's most dangerous city: Juarez, Mexico. This proximity accounts in part for the increased number of Hispanics in its population. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, Hispanics now make up 82 percent of the El Paso County…

Barrera, Magdalena – Bilingual Review, 2009
This essay examines the working-class Mexican experience as represented in Jorge Ulica's "Cronicas Diabolicas," which he published between 1916 and 1926. What unites the wide-ranging subject matter of the chronicles is the author's resolute interest in maintaining his working-class compatriots' cultural and ideological ties to Mexico.…

Sayasenh, Samone – ProQuest LLC, 2012
There is a plethora of studies on Latino academic underachievement, but very little information about Latino students who are successful at community colleges, yet the majority of Latino undergraduates in the U.S. attend these two-year schools. Furthermore, studies disaggregating Latino sub-groups have been limited or non-existent; therefore, this…

Lopez, Cynthia Iris – ProQuest LLC, 2012

Dinnan, Paula Jo – ProQuest LLC, 2009
The U.S. Census bureau projects that by 2023, minorities will comprise more than half of all children. The population of school-aged Hispanic children is already the largest ethnic group, and the sheer number and rate of increase of these linguistically and culturally different students creates unfamiliar cultural challenges for school leaders.…

Bruna, Katherine Richardson; Chamberlin, Dennis – Multicultural Perspectives, 2008
Currently, 20% of Gardston High School's K-12 students are Latino, the overwhelming majority from small "ranchitos" in rural Mexico with populations of less than 4,000-5,000 residents. In this way, the presence of Mexicans in Gardston means that there is, numerically, the equivalent to a "ranchito" living right within this…

O'Brien, Gregory Sean – ProQuest LLC, 2010
U.S. Latino parents are often characterized by educators as uninvolved in school and the formal education of their children because they do not value education. While research indicates otherwise, stereotypes still exist among many educators that one reason Latinos do poorly in school is because they do not care. Masked behind stereotypes is the…

Noe, Mark – College English, 2009
The author questions the continued usefulness of inside/outside as a liberatory metaphor, particularly for Latino/a students, who experience that classroom quite differently from the privileged way that the author, their Anglo teacher, does. The author argues that the assumptions of the inside/outside metaphor accentuate the challenges that these…
