Fujimoto, Maria Oropeza
Journal of the Association of Mexican American Educators, v7 n1 p28-47 2013
This study focuses on how stories influence Latinas' motivation and resiliency toward academic success and how Latina parents support their daughters in resisting racial discrimination. In the spirit of Critical Race Theory, it concludes with a counterstory of hope and possibility about how higher education can create a space for all students to achieve.
