Now the largest and fastest-growing ethnic population in
the U.S., Latino students face many challenges and
complexities when it comes to college choice and access.
This edited volume provides much needed theoretical and
empirical data on how the schooling experiences of Latino
students shape their educational aspirations and access to
higher education. It explores how the individual and
collective influence of the home, school and policy shape
the college decision-making process, and offers directions
for future research, programming and policy in Latino
education.
