“…Dismissing what they say because it was not in an "appropriate register" minimalizes the input from that person. Stein et al (2018) stated, "Most students of color continue to be treated as receptors of information, as opposed to coconstructors of knowledge through pedagogies that value their beliefs and experiences" (p. 104).…”

Stein, et al (2018) said, "the primary responsibility of educators is to ensure that all students are treated equitably" (p. 103).

Translanguaging empowers non-native English speakers in the use and maintenance of their first language. Using their entire linguistic repertoire, English language learners (ELLs) will be able to express themselves better in speech and writing. Support for their home language will increase overall linguistic ability but will also help them maintain connections to their heritage and families and allow them to continue to identify with and be proud of their cultural roots. Opposition and prejudice against the use of languages other than English should be examined and rooted out for the racist ideology it is.

“…Few articles engaged in historical inquiry (e.g., Ruiz-Escalante & Arreguín-Anderson, 2013) or quantitative analyses (Covarrubias & Lara, 2014; Rodríguez et al, 2016). In one mixed-method study, Stein et al (2018) used a survey of a racially diverse pool of 1,132 students at a Texas high school to find out about the racial injustice Latinxs faced. The survey data (along with focal interviews of students, teachers, administrators, etc.)…”

Examining Race in LatCrit: A Systematic Review of Latinx Critical Race Theory in Education

Review of Educational Research

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This systematic review includes 125 peer-reviewed education-research articles that employ a LatCrit framework (from a search including articles published from 1995 to 2020). The author examines how the literature utilizes LatCrit and advances ideas about race, Latinxs, and Latinidad in education. The author presents significant patterns and divergences in the literature’s strengths, challenges, and tensions. Some strengths include detailing Latinxs’ experiences and valuing experiential knowledge. The author problematizes four research practices: (1) describing LatCrit with select tenets of CRT; (2) not defining race or other relevant concepts (language, culture, etc.); (3) claiming Latinxs are unique because of their multidimensionality; and (4) exceeding LatCrit’s scope by rationalizing the study’s use of LatCrit because its participants are Latinxs. The author argues that these complications lead to a paradox: even though LatCrit emerges from critical race theory and is described as for Latinxs, the literature largely undertheorizes race and lacks clarity about conceptualizing Latinxs as a racialized group. The author recommends four framing ideas that are particular to LatCrit and that help advance the specificity of Latinidad in education.

“…This LatCrit framework was also used to examine the experience of Latinx students in a Texas High School. The researchers concluded that more subtle forms of racism, sometimes disguised as colorblindness, were detrimental to the experiences of the students (Cooper Stein et al, 2018). Calderon and Urrieta (2019) examine how even conceptions of Latinidad need to be problematized particularly by exploring how indigenous populations relate to the larger concepts of Latin culture.…”

“It’s Dehumanizing on Purpose”: Educators’ Experiences at an Immigration Detention Center

This work highlights the experience of eight education students from a public university in the American Southeast in their trip to Stewart Immigration Detention Center. A pre-interview and two post-interviews were conducted to understand students’ perceptions toward the topic, what they learned from their experience, and how the experience affected their views on immigration with a particular concern for the intersection of immigration and education. Some of the themes that emerged were the broader injustices of the profit driven immigration detention industry, the difficulties of structural change, the idea of American (industrialized world) privilege, the ease by which individuals are detained, and the dehumanizing treatment. In regard to education, participants highlighted the need for curriculum to focus on the topic of immigration including the integration of immigrant stories, a global education that counters xenophobic narratives, and the need for a more critical approach overall in the social studies classroom. This research is relevant to the larger intersection of immigration policy and education and the need for educators to become advocates for social change not only in their classroom but in regard to the larger injustices in the society.
