"Ahí Fuimos Jalando Gente": Transnational Latina Mothers Navigating and Resisting Hyper-Gentrification in Dual-Language Schools
Gonzales, Grace Cornell
AERA Online Paper Repository, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association (Chicago, IL, Apr 13-16, 2023 and Virtual, May 4-5, 2023)
This study explores the experiences of transnational Latina mothers whose children are enrolled in hyper-gentrified dual-language programs. Drawing upon transnationalism (Sánchez & Kasun, 2012) and differential consciousness (Sandoval, 1991), I explored how these mothers' own complex identities informed their navigation of conflicting discourses that position dual-language education on one hand as part of an anti-racist, social justice movement, and conversely as a neoliberal enrichment tool that confers a competitive advantage for privileged children. Ultimately, this paper highlights the ways mothers shifted between these ideologies strategically, centering community and working to expand access to these programs to other Spanish-speaking and transnational families in ways that have increased racial and linguistic diversity in these programs, but have fallen short of increasing socioeconomic diversity.
