They find that students experience feelings of shame, anger, despair, marginalization, and uncertainty stemming from discrimination, anti-immigrant sentiment, fear of deportation, and systemic barriers (e.g., ineligibility for financial aid). Despite moments of despair and an uncertain future, rather than become dejected, students reframe their circumstances in positive terms. Findings also highlight the importance of student advocates on campus, as well as the need to educate college personnel. The conclusion discusses the socioemotional implications of students' ongoing legal marginality, and makes suggestions for institutional practices."- from Amazon.comNew Americans (LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC)Undocumented immigrantsEducation (Higher)United StatesHispanic AmericansEducation (Higher)Hispanic AmericansEducation (Higher)Social aspectsHispanic AmericansSocial conditionsHispanic AmericansSocial life and customsElectronic books.Undocumented immigrantsEducation (Higher)Hispanic AmericansEducation (Higher)Hispanic AmericansEducation (Higher)Social aspects.Hispanic AmericansSocial conditions.Hispanic AmericansSocial life and customs.371.829/68073Pérez William1974-936237Cortés Richard Douglas936238MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462555203321Undocumented Latino college students2109102UNINA
