"Somos pero no somos iguales"/We Are but We Are Not the Same: Unpacking Latinx Indigeneity and the Implications for Urban Schools
López, Josué; Irizarry, Jason G.
Urban Education, v57 n9 p1539-1564 Nov 2022
Applying several critical race theories as analytical frameworks, the authors present and analyze counterstories of Indigenous Latinx students attending an urban high school in a "new Latinx diaspora" community, underscoring points of convergence as well as the ways their experiences were distinct from those of their Latinx peers. The findings suggest that urban school improvement efforts often ignore Latinx Indigeneity and further alienate students. As such, more complex and nuanced understandings of Latinx communities are required to improve the quality of education offered to them. The article concludes by exploring the implications of this work for educators and researchers.
