Schooling and the Civic Exclusion of Latinos: Toward a Discourse of Dissonance.

Walsh, Catherine

Journal of Education, v169 n2 p115-31 1987

Schooling is supposed to allow peripheral members of society to gain access to the mainstream. This is a myth for Latinos. American schools have promoted exclusion so that these students have developed strategies of survival and resistance. Civic inclusion means they would participate in the society fully while maintaining cultural traditions. (VM)
