Featuring hundreds of personal anecdotes by Latino college students
against a backdrop of information on their culture, history, and
academic needs and strengths, this book offers a compelling and
exacting view of the world of Latino students and their families.
With a large percentage of public school students being Latino, the
future of America is intertwined with that of Latino youth and
their educational experience. Who are these children, and how are
they transforming and being transformed by this nation? Voces:
Latino Students on Life in the United States serves to answer these
questions, putting the focus on the voices of Latino youth and
presenting the research through the real-world experiences and
individual perspectives of Latino college students. The students'
highly compelling yet rarely heard stories reveal the rewards and
challenges of navigating two cultures and languages in school,
home, and their communities and offer suggestions for how best to
help other Latino youth. The student contributions are analyzed
against a backdrop of information on Latino Americans, such as
demographics, Spanish-English bilingualism, beliefs, traditions,
and cultural practices, putting special emphasis on factors that
bear on the academic and social wellbeing of Latino youth. Taking
an assets-based approach, the book underscores the strengths of
these students and spotlights how they are poised to enrich the
American mosaic. Introduces readers to the experiences of Latino
students through personal interviews and autobiographical essays
Provides an overview of the culture, history, and linguistic
practices of U.S. Latinos Presents a non-technical summary of the
needs and strengths of Latino students as identified in the
research literature Provides concrete examples of the strategies
and tools used by Latino youth to deal with adversity and succeed
in life Takes real-world situations to demonstrate how the actions
