The Silencing of Latino Student "Voice": Puerto Rican and Mexican Narratives in Eighth Grade and High School.
Quiroz, Pamela Anne
Anthropology & Education Quarterly, v32 n3 p326-49 Sep 2001
Narratives of Puerto Rican and Mexican American students, written in 8th grade and then 11th grade, describe who they are and illustrate school-sponsored silencing, with student critiques of their educational experience ignored by schools. The narratives help explain the Hispanic student high dropout rate, reasons behind students' academic decisions, and interventions needed to change negative schooling processes and outcomes. (SM)
