The recent literature on Latino persistence does not take into account these students' distinct cultural backgrounds. Most researchers of Latino persistence use the selfdesignation "Latino" as a proxy variable representing Latino culture. A Latino Critical Theory (LatCrit) lens is applied to the persistence literature to demonstrate the need to infuse these studies with a focus on Latino culture. ResumenLa literatura reciente en retención latina no toma en consideración antecedentes culturales distintivos de estos estudiantes. La mayoría de los investigadores de persistencia latina usan el término auto designado "latino" como agente variable representante de la cultura latina. Se aplicó un lente de Teoría Crítica Latina (LatCrit) a la literatura en persistencia para demostrar la necesidad de infundir en estos estudios un enfoque sobre cultura latina.
