Understanding Ethnic Identity and Attachment Among Latino High School Students

This research explores the impact of context, ethnicity, identity, and attachment on Latino high school students. It delves into the struggles faced by these students in school and neighborhood settings due to racial conflict, lack of support, and disconnect with policy makers. The study highlights issues like pan-ethnic identity formation, cultural disconnect in education, and the need for improved support systems. Through anecdotes and data analysis, it sheds light on the challenges faced by Latino youth and the importance of addressing their unique experiences to foster a sense of belonging and success in academic environments.
