Mexican Americans comprise the largest subgroup of Latina/os, and
their path to education can be a difficult one. Yet just as this
group is often marginalized, so are their stories, and relatively
few studies have chronicled the educational trajectory of Mexican
American men and women. In this interdisciplinary collection,
editors Zambrana and Hurtado have brought together research studies
that reveal new ways to understand how and why members of this
subgroup have succeeded and how the facilitators of success in
higher education have changed or remained the same. The Magic Key's
four sections explain the context of Mexican American higher
education issues, provide conceptual understandings, explore
contemporary college experiences, and offer implications for
educational policy and future practices. Using historical and
contemporary data as well as new conceptual apparatuses, the
authors in this collection create a comparative, nuanced approach
that brings Mexican Americans' lived experiences into the dominant
discourse of social science and education. This diverse set of
studies presents both quantitative and qualitative data by gender
to examine trends of generations of Mexican American college
students, provides information on perceptions of welcoming
university climates, and proffers insights on emergent issues in
the field of higher education for this population. Professors and
students across disciplines will find this volume indispensable for
its insights on the Mexican American educational experience, both
past and present.
