Race, Class, and Choice in Latino/a Higher Education
Author: Sarah M OvinkPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 1137518863
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
This book is an in-depth study which examines the lives of fifty ambitious Latino/a high school seniors in the San Francisco East Bay Area, following their entrance into college and career pathways over several years. This book examines the social forces that contributed to near-universal college attendance among these mostly low-income Latinos/as, all of whom attended fairly typical public schools. In an era of increased economic insecurity, decreased funding for schools, and rising college tuition, this book provides a balanced look at the individual choices and systemic constraints influencing today’s “college-for-all” orientation, while pointing the way toward possibilities for making college pathways smoother for all.

Just Around the Bend is a look beneath the fanciful images of America to the brutal betrayal of Americans by the courts, the mental health system, schools, insurance companies, banks, and even the churches. From my fathers trial for murder for defending his sister against spousal abuse, to my own law practice, my life is the story of constant struggle to reach a peace that my mother once said was just around the bend. That long bend up the mountain has run from Pennsylvania where I was born, to Nevada, and then to California. The journey challenges every readers expectations.
