Abstract | This article draws on data from a qualitative research study that asked how six Latinos living in a southern state used literacy to enact, defend, and transform their identities as transnational youths in response to evolving social conditions they and their families encountered in the United States. In sharing the experiences of three participants, the authors demonstrate how the participants maintained their affiliation with the Latino community in part by using reading and writing to engage in community activism and highlight social and political issues facing Latino immigrants in the region where they lived. The authors conclude by discussing the implications of their research for English language arts teachers. (As Provided). |
