In this collection, local experts use personal narratives and
empirical data to explore the history of Mexican American and
Puerto Rican education in the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) system.
The essays focus on three themes: the historical context of
segregated and inferior schooling for Latina/o/x students; the
changing purposes and meanings of education for Latina/o/x students
from the 1950s through today; and Latina/o/x resistance to
educational reforms grounded in neoliberalism. Contributors look at
stories of student strength and resistance, the oppressive systems
forced on Mexican American women, the criminalization of Puerto
Ricans fighting for liberatory education, and other topics of
educational significance. As they show, many harmful past practices
remain the norm--or have become worse. Yet Latina/o/x communities
and students persistently engage in transformative practices
shaping new approaches to education that promise to reverberate not
only in the city but nationwide. Insightful and enlightening,
Latina/o/x Education in Chicago brings to light the ongoing
struggle for educational equity in the Chicago Public Schools.
