Now the largest and fastest-growing ethnic population in the U.S.,
Latino students face many challenges and complexities when it comes
to college choice and access. This edited volume provides much
needed theoretical and empirical data on how the schooling
experiences of Latino students shape their educational aspirations
and access to higher education. It explores how the individual and
collective influence of the home, school and policy shape the
college decision-making process. This unique collection of original
scholarly articles offers critical insight on educational pathways
that will help families, educators and policy makers intervene in
ways that foster and sustain college access and participation for
Latino students. It considers destination preferences and
enrollment selections, elementary and secondary school experiences,
and intervention programs that shed light on how practitioners can
promote participation and retention. This multi-conceptual,
multi-methodological volume offers directions for future research,
programming and policy in Latino education.

Research on Schools, Neighborhoods, and Communities: Toward Civic
Responsibility focuses on research and theoretical developments
related to the role of geography in education, human development,
and health. William F. Tate IV, the Edward Mallinckrodt
Distinguished University Professor in Arts & Sciences at
Washington University in St. Louis and former President of the
American Educational Research Association, presents a collection of
chapters from across disciplines to further understand the
strengths of and problems in our communities. Today, many research
literatures--e.g., health, housing, transportation, and
education--focus on civic progress, yet rarely are there efforts to
interrelate these literatures to better understand urgent problems
and promising possibilities in education, wherein social context is
central. In this volume, social context--in particular, the unequal
opportunities that result from geography--is integral to the
arguments, analyses, and case studies presented.Written by more
than 40 educational scholars from top universities across the
nation, the research presented in this volume provides historical,
moral, and scientifically based arguments with the potential to
inform understandings of civic problems associated with education,
youth, and families, and to guide the actions of responsible
citizens and institutions dedicated to advancing the public good.
