"It Was Kind of a Dream Come True": Undocumented College Students' "Testimonios" of Cultural Wealth in the College Choice Process
Romo, Enrique; Ozuna-Allen, Taryn; Martinez, Melissa A.
Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, v18 n4 p389-409 Oct 2019
Using community cultural wealth as a theoretical framework, this qualitative study examined the college choice process of eight undocumented Mexican college graduates. Through interviews, participants shared their "testimonios" revealing the development of their college aspirations and challenges encountered related to their undocumented status. They described the processes, resources, and networks they utilized to overcome obstacles and access a research university. Recommendations for practice and future research are offered.
