Listening to Voices of Latinx Immigrants in Rural America
Smith, Jacqueline
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, University of Arkansas
The purpose of this phenomenological qualitative study was to capture and gain an understanding of Latinx immigrants' lived experiences during their transitions from their native countries to rural Arkansas. Using purposeful criterion-based sampling, the population of interest was five Latinx immigrant students and families who migrated from their native countries to the state of Arkansas. The analytic strategy included a single-case model of each family's transcription, two-case model, cluster analysis to identify likeness, document portrait, and subtheme development. The structural descriptions that formed the essence of the experience resulted in three themes: education, migration, and emotional experiences. The three overall themes embraced the importance and provided dimension to the Latinx immigrant experience, as rural districts, teachers, and communities can learn how to better support Latinx immigrant families' overall needs.
