Abstract

LEVINE, Elaine. Hijos de migrantes mexicanos en las escuelas de Estados Unidos. Sociológica (Méx.) [online]. 2006, vol.21, n.60, pp.173-205. ISSN 2007-8358.

This article highlights the difficulties that children of Mexican migrants face in U.S. schools in order to understand why low levels of schooling continue to exist among second- and third-generation Latinos of Mexican origin. The author analyzes the socio-economic barriers that limit their good performance and the new forms of discrimination and educational segregation, which help explain why these children and youths lag behind in the United States.

Keywords : migration; schooling; children of migrants; drop-out rate; de facto segregation.
