* Investigadora del Centro de Investigaciones sobre América del Norte de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, México. Correo electrónico: elaine@servidor.unam.mx.
Este artículo señala las dificultades a las que se enfrentan los hijos de migrantes mexicanos en las escuelas de Estados Unidos, con el propósito de entender por qué persisten los bajos niveles de escolaridad entre los latinos de origen mexicano, incluso para las segundas y hasta las terceras generaciones o más. Analiza los obstáculos socioeconómicos que limitan su buen desempeño y las nuevas formas de discriminación y segregación escolar, que ayudan a explicar los rezagos de estos niños y jóvenes en el contexto estadounidense.
Palabras clave: migración; escolaridad; hijos de migrantes; deserción escolar; segregación de facto
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.
Key words: migration; schooling; children of migrants; drop-out rate; de facto segregation
