SUMMARY

Relying on a wealth of ethnographic and statistical data, this groundbreaking volume documents the many constraints and social forces that prevent Mexican-origin adolescents from constructing the kinds of networks that provide access to important forms of social support. Special attention is paid to those forms of support privileged youth normally receive and working-class youth do not, such as expert guidance regarding college opportunities. The author also reveals how some working-class ethnic minority youth become the exception, weaving social webs that promote success in school as well as empowering forms of resiliency. In both cases, the role of social networks in shaping young people's chances is illuminated.Stanton-Salazar, Richard D. is the author of 'Manufacturing Hope and Despair The School and Kin Support Networks of U.S.-Mexican Youth', published 2001 under ISBN 9780807741085 and ISBN 0807741086.
