This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines the racial/ethnic identity development, and the racialized experiences of Latino college students of Mexican origin. Furthermore, this dissertation advances research on Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) by comparing and contrasting HSIs with various student racial composition trends and a predominantly white institution (PWI). Current research on the marginalized experiences of Latino students at PWIs is clear that they continue to face interpersonal and structural forms of racism on campus. However, previous research on the experiences of Latinos attending HSIs are unclear about the benefits or challenges that Latinos face within those racialized spaces. This dissertation examines specifically how racialized space functions within HSIs of various racial compositions in the Southwest compared to a PWI that is an emerging HSI. This dissertation finds that experiences of racism and/or discrimination vary by an institution's racial composition that has both negative and positive impacts on racial/ethnic identity development. The HSI in this dissertation with 80 percent Latinos in the student body offers the most institutional support for Latino students of Mexican origin and fosters an environment for racial/ethnic identity exploration, development, and celebration. However, there are several accounts of internalized racism between U.S. born and immigrant Latinos. Furthermore, participants from the HSI with 40 percent Latinos report interpersonal and structural forms of racism on campus similar to the experiences of Latino students at PWI. Students at this HSI also report similar feelings of needing to hide or change their racial/ethnic identity when on campus, and are aware of limited opportunities to explore or celebrate their racial/ethnic identities. Overall, this dissertation finds that we should not homogenize HSIs in analyses. We need to continue investigating differences in experiences within racialized spaces at HSIs with various racial compositions. Furthermore, comparing these institutions by how long there has been a majority of Latinos in the student body is also important. The longer Latinos are the majority over whites in an institution, the more there is institutional support and programs for Latinos of Mexican origin. This support contributes to an overall more inclusionary campus racial climate, and thus more positive opportunities for racial/ethnic identity development.

Book Synopsis Understanding the Latinx Experience by : Vasti Torres
Download or read book Understanding the Latinx Experience written by Vasti Torres and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Latino presence continues to grow in traditional population enclaves and has tripled in areas that are not traditionally associated with this pan-ethnic group. The dramatic growth of this population in the U.S. requires a considerably deeper understanding of individuals that share this multifaceted identity. This timely book synthesizes new research and its implications for practice that is critical for professionals working with Latinos in educational and counseling contexts. The authors provide insight into identity development, environmental influences, and how these factors influence persistence in higher education. By using a synthesis approach to organize multiple studies around how being Latinx influences the experiences of students in college and beyond, the authors offer a holistic view of the Latino population. Each chapter uses mixed method data points to highlight the experiences of this growing population and provide helpful insights for those who work with Latinx individuals within higher education and community settings. The new Lifespan Model of Latinx Ethnic Identity Development constitutes a framework to consider the development and tensions experienced by Latinos as they engage with the various cultures represented within U.S. society. The studies presented in this book provide an evidence-based understanding how environmental differences may produce differing levels of development for college students and how change in environments produce reflective refinement of adult Latinx identity. Practitioners will learn about practices that help Latinx college students. Faculty and researchers will gain new understandings of the Latinx experience, and discover a starting point for further reflection and investigation.
Book Synopsis Mestizo in America by : Thomas Macias
Download or read book Mestizo in America written by Thomas Macias and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2006-09-14 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How much does ethnicity matter to Mexican Americans today, when many marry outside their culture and some can’t even stomach menudo? This book addresses that question through a unique blend of quantitative data and firsthand interviews with third-plus-generation Mexican Americans. Latinos are being woven into the fabric of American life, to be sure, but in a way quite distinct from ethnic groups that have come from other parts of the world. By focusing on individuals’ feelings regarding acculturation, work experience, and ethnic identity—and incorporating Mexican-Anglo intermarriage statistics—Thomas Macias compares the successes and hardships of Mexican immigrants with those of previous European arrivals. He describes how continual immigration, the growth of the Latino population, and the Chicano Movement have been important factors in shaping the experience of Mexican Americans, and he argues that Mexican American identity is often not merely an “ethnic option” but a necessary response to stereotyping and interactions with Anglo society.Talking with fifty third-plus generation Mexican Americans from Phoenix and San Jose—representative of the seven million nationally with at least one immigrant grandparent—he shows how people utilize such cultural resources as religion, spoken Spanish, and cross-national encounters to reinforce Mexican ethnicity in their daily lives. He then demonstrates that, although social integration for Mexican Americans shares many elements with that of European Americans, forces related to ethnic concentration, social inequality, and identity politics combine to make ethnicity for Mexican Americans more fixed across generations. Enhancing research already available on first- and second-generation Mexican Americans, Macias’s study also complements research done on other third-plus-generation ethnic groups and provides the empirical data needed to understand the commonalities and differences between them. His work plumbs the changing meaning of mestizaje in the Americas over five centuries and has much to teach us about the long-term assimilation and prospects of Mexican-origin people in the United States.
Book Synopsis Durable Ethnicity by : Edward Eric Telles
Download or read book Durable Ethnicity written by Edward Eric Telles and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexican Americans are unique in the panoply of American ethno-racial groups in that they are the descendants of the largest and longest lasting immigration stream in US history. Today, there are approximately 24 million Americans of Mexican descent living in the United States, many of whose families have been in the US for several generations. In Durable Ethnicity, Edward Telles and Christina A. Sue examine the meanings behind being both American and ethnically Mexican for contemporary Mexican Americans. Rooted in a large-scale longitudinal and representative survey of Mexican Americans living in San Antonio and Los Angeles across 35 years, Telles and Sue draw on 70 in-depth interviews and over 1,500 surveys to examine how Mexicans Americans construct their identities and attitudes related to ethnicity, nationality, language, and immigration. In doing so, they highlight the primacy of their American identities and variation in their ethnic identities, showing that their experiences range on a continuum from symbolic to consequential ethnicity, even into the fourth generation. Durable Ethnicity offers a comprehensive exploration into how, when, and why ethnicity matters for multiple generations of Mexican Americans, arguing that their experiences are influenced by an ethnic core, a set of structural and institutional forces that promote and sustain ethnicity.
Book Synopsis School Composition, Social Origins, and the Educational Outcomes of Mexican Origin Youth by : Elizabeth S. Ackert
Download or read book School Composition, Social Origins, and the Educational Outcomes of Mexican Origin Youth written by Elizabeth S. Ackert and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mexican origin population is one of the largest and fastest-growing racial/ethnic minority groups in U.S. schools. Mexican origin students are also one of the most educationally disadvantaged subgroups, exhibiting gaps with peers in educational outcomes throughout the schooling pipeline. This dissertation examines the extent to which the racial/ethnic and socioeconomic composition of high schools attended by Mexican origin youth contribute to their disadvantaged educational outcomes. Using data from the Educational Longitudinal Study of 2002, this research evaluates how Mexican origin high school students are distributed across schools by the racial/ethnic and socioeconomic composition of their peers, and assesses how racially/ethnically and socioeconomically isolated school environments impact levels of dropout and school engagement among Mexican origin adolescents. The results show that Mexican origin youth are more racially/ethnically and socioeconomically isolated in schools than both non-Latino white and black students. Mexican origin youth show limited evidence of spatial assimilation across schools by immigrant generational status. However, Mexican origin youth in households with greater socioeconomic resources are enrolled in more racially/ethnically and socioeconomically integrated schools than those in the most impoverished households. Mexican origin high school students that attend racially/ethnically and socioeconomically isolated schools in 10th grade have a greater risk of dropout by 12th grade than those in more integrated schools. These patterns, however, are due to the fact that Mexican origin youth in racially/ethnically and socioeconomically isolated schools exhibit characteristics that place them at a greater risk of dropout, including disadvantaged social origins and low levels of academic achievement in 10th grade. Finally, the analysis of school composition and school engagement patterns reveals an affective-behavioral tradeoff for Mexican origin youth with exposure to non-minority and non-poor youth in schools. Mexican origin youth are significantly less likely to report that they like school as they gain exposure to non-minority students, even net of background confounders. However, they are more involved in school-sponsored activities in schools with more affluent peers. These findings complicate the argument that high-minority, high-poverty schooling contexts are to blame for educational disadvantages among Mexican origin youth.

Book Synopsis Race and Classification by : Ilona Katzew
Download or read book Race and Classification written by Ilona Katzew and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-23 with total page 599 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative and provocative volume focuses on the historical development of racial thinking and imagining in Mexico and the southwestern United States over a period of almost five centuries, from the earliest decades of Spanish colonial rule and the birth of a multiracial colonial population, to the present. The distinguished contributors to the volume bring into dialogue sophisticated new scholarship from an impressive range of disciplines, including social and cultural history, art history, legal studies, and performance art. The essays provide an engaging and original framework for understanding the development of racial thinking and classification in the region that was once New Spain and also shed new light on the history of the shifting ties between Mexico and the United States and the transnational condition of Latinos in the US today.

Book Synopsis Tejanos in College by : Tomás Sanchez
Download or read book Tejanos in College written by Tomás Sanchez and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Latina's in the United States, navigating the spectrum of racial and ethnic identities can be complicated. This same complication has the potential to affect one of the largest groups of Latina's in the nation: Mexican-Americans living in Texas or Tejanos. Through qualitative analyses of interviews and surveys and the use of an ecological framework on identity development theories for Latina's, Native Americans, Multiracial peoples and those in the Mexican diaspora, this study examines various factors that influences the ethnoracial identity choice of Tejano college students. Findings revealed that there were several common themes across all the participants, even those who did not identify as Tejano. Geographical origin of parents and family and community influence emerged as a noticeable reason as to why students identified as Tejano. A connection to generations of family in the United States and Mexico also impacted how strongly students identified ethnoracially as Tejano. In addition, experiences of "not being enough" galvanized some students to a stronger Tejano identity. Other themes included the impact of physical appearance, growing up with Spanish in their household, and Tejano representation in media. Recommendations are targeted to staff and faculty who work with Latina students, especially Mexican-Americans in Texas, to provide opportunities to explore and support a more complex ethnoracial identity including connection with their cultural traditions, education on Latina history, an examination on the impact of language on identity, and consideration of ethnoracial affinity group work.

Book Synopsis Crossing Cultural Barriers by : Anna Maria Constancia
Download or read book Crossing Cultural Barriers written by Anna Maria Constancia and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An overwhelming majority of studies focused on identity development in the U.S have been performed with predominantly or solely European American populations. In the U.S our ideas of mental health, including our assessment tools, diagnoses and treatment interventions, focus on the needs of the dominant European American culture, including those used in dance/movement therapy (DMT). This presents a limitation for therapists who work with ethnic minorities, since a large number of people who seek therapy do not identify themselves as part of the dominant [European American] culture (Dosamantes-Beaudry, 1997). This analysis of ethnic identity literature provides information about the verbal and nonverbal processes of ethnic identity formation, with a targeted focus on Mexican American identity development. While reviewing ethnic identity models and factors to consider in ethnic identity development, this thesis will analyze nonverbal communication and somatic experiences within the Hispanic culture to assess how Hispanic identity is shaped somatically and what differences, if any, exist between Hispanic identity and European American identity. A further analysis of the literature will reveal if factors can be identified that specifically influence Mexican American ethnic identity development. With the Hispanic population being the largest ethnic minority group in the U.S, and those of Mexican heritage making up the majority of this group, it is important for dance/movement therapists to be aware of the experiences of the Hispanic and Mexican American culture. This literature review explores the somatic experiences of the Hispanic population to discover concepts of body boundaries, body image, embodied racism and how these body experiences can influence the Hispanic population to possibly develop a different sense of the self.
