The first examination of the sociolinguistic, identity, and
educational experiences of Indigenous Mexican youths. This book
uncovers the social and educational experiences of an increasing yet
understudied population of young immigrants in the US, focusing on
multilingual students who speak one of three Indigenous languages:
Zapotec, Mixtec and P’urhépecha. It explores students’
ethnoracial identities, Indigenous language use and transnational
practices and the influence of these factors on school adjustment,
academic achievement and educational pathways. This three-year
mixed-methods study in semi-urban, urban and rural contexts assesses
student interviews, teacher interviews and survey data to provide an
account of how Indigenous students develop their social identities and
examines the influence of their non-Indigenous Mexican peers and
teachers. It highlights new developments in Latinx cultural and
linguistic heterogeneity and intragroup race/ethnic relations,
informing policymakers and educators about Indigenous immigrant
students and how to effectively support their multilingualism, ethnic
identity development and educational success. It will be of interest
to researchers working in related fields such as education, Latin
American studies and immigration studies.
