Status Consciousness and Leftism: A Study of Mexican-American Adolescents

Cobas, Jose A.

Social Forces, 55, 4, 1028-42, Jun 77

Using data collected among Mexican-American adolescents, this paper tests a model positing an effect of ethnic consciousness on system blame, and an effect of system blame on political leftism. For the sample as a whole, results support the model, although the effect of system blame on leftism is weak. (Author/JM)
