Their insights are both balanced and frank, blending personal, anecdotal, political, and cultural viewpoints. Their engaging stories detail the students' personal struggles with issues such as identity and biculturalism, family dynamics, religion, poverty, stereotypes, and the value of education.Throughout, they provide insights into issues of racial identity in contemporary America among a minority population that is very much in the news. This book gives educators, students, and their families a clear view of the experience of Latino students adapting to a challenging educational environment and a cultural context-Dartmouth College-often very different from their childhood ones. 606 $aHispanic American college students$zNew Hampshire$zHanover$vBiography 606 $aHispanic American youth$xEducation (Higher)$zNew Hampshire$zHanover 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHispanic American college students 615 0$aHispanic American youth$xEducation (Higher) 676 $a378.742/3 702 $aGarrod$b Andrew, 702 $aGómez$b Christina, 702 $aKilkenny$b Robert, 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457280303321 996 $aMi Voz, Mi Vida$92484765 997 $aUNINA
