Product Description
Relying on a wealth of ethnographic and statistical data, this groundbreaking volume documents the many constraints and social forces that prevent Mexican-origin adolescents from constructing the kinds of networks that provide access to important forms of social support. Special attention is paid to those forms of support privileged youth normally receive and working-class youth do not, such as expert guidance regarding college opportunities.

Mexican/Latino Adolescents in the U.S.--"An Eloquent Rendering" April 18, 2008
"A beautifully written and inspiring book that announces a new generation of Mexican/Latino scholars.... This is a book which tells the tale about Mexican/Latino adolescents but, in reality, it is a book about how working-class adolescent life is socially constructed, defined, and elaborated in the United States. An eloquent rendering, indeed."
--Carlos G. Velez-Ibanez, Presidential Chair in Anthropology, University of California, Riverside
