Reyes identifies the normative institutional arrangements that shape the social relationships relevant to Latino students' lives, including school size, the demographic profile of the student body, residential arrangements, the relationship between students and administrators, and how well diversity programs integrate students through cultural centers and retention centers. Together these characteristics create an environment for Latino students that influences how they interact, identify, and come to understand their place on campus.\u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e  Drawing on extensive ethnographic observations, Reyes shows how college campuses shape much more than students' academic and occupational trajectories; they mold students' ideas about inequality and opportunity in America, their identities, and even how they intend to practice politics.  \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003ePreface ix\u003cbr\u003e 1 Higher Education and Latino Students 1\u003cbr\u003e PART ONE\u003cbr\u003e University Institutional Contexts\u003cbr\u003e 2 The Communal Bubble \u003cbr\u003eat Liberal Arts College 15\u003cbr\u003e 3 Conflict at Research University 35\u003cbr\u003e 4 Coexisting at Regional Public University 61\u003cbr\u003e PART TWO\u003cbr\u003e Student Interactions and Meaning-Making\u003cbr\u003e 5 Who We Are: (Pan)ethnic Identity and \u003cbr\u003eBoundary Formation 81\u003cbr\u003e 6 What We Do: Defining and Performing Latino Politics 113\u003cbr\u003e 7 Where We Are Going: \u003cbr\u003eIdeas about Racial Inequality \u003cbr\u003eand Mobility 137\u003cbr\u003e 8 How Higher Education Teaches Disparate Lessons \u003cbr\u003eto Latinos 157\u003cbr\u003e Methodological Appendix: \u003cbr\u003eStudying Student Organizations \u003cbr\u003ein Multiple Institutions 169 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments \u003cbr\u003e177\u003cbr\u003e Notes 181\u003cbr\u003e References 185\u003cbr\u003e About the Author 189\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52563729252632,"sku":"9780813596464","price":22.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/learning-to-be-latino-how-colleges-shape-identity-politics-paperback-softback-9780813596464","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
