Hispano Education and the Implications of Autonomy: Four School Systems in Southern Colorado, 1920-1963.
Donato, Ruben
Harvard Educational Review, v69 n2 p117-49 Sum 1999
The experiences of Hispanos (Mexican Americans) in four Colorado school systems from 1920 to 1963 show that the presence or absence of Hispano autonomy was a powerful determinant of school success or failure. Those in control of schools determined the teaching and administrative staff, the social and academic environment, and which students were prepared for postsecondary education. (SK)
