Yet the research about this group is sparse, and there is a lack of information to guide studies, services or education for the rapidly growing Latino population across the U.S. The existing research has focused on stereotypical perceptions of Latinas as frequently dropping out of school, becoming teen mothers, or being involved with boyfriends in gangs. Latina Girls brings together cutting edge research that challenges these stereotypes. At the same time, the volume offers solid data and suggestions for practical intervention for those who study and work to support this population. It highlights the challenges these young women face, as well as the ways in which they successfully negotiate those challenges. The volume includes research on Latinas and their relationships with family, friends, and romantic partners; academics; career goals; identity; lifelong satisfaction; and the ways in which they navigate across cultures and gender roles. Latina Girls is the first book to pull together research on the overall strengths and strategies that characterize Latina adolescents' lives in the U.S. It will be of key interest and practical use to those who study and work with Latina youth. 606 $aSex role$zUnited States 606 $aHispanic Americans$xEthnic identity 606 $aHispanic American teenage girls$xPsychology 606 $aHispanic American teenage girls$xSocial conditions 610 $aLatinas. 610 $aacademics. 610 $aacross. 610 $acareer. 610 $acultures. 610 $afamily. 610 $afriends. 610 $agender. 610 $agoals. 610 $aidentity. 610 $aincludes. 610 $alifelong. 610 $anavigate. 610 $apartners. 610 $arelationships. 610 $aresearch. 610 $aroles. 610 $aromantic. 610 $asatisfaction. 610 $atheir. 610 $athey. 610 $avolume. 610 $aways. 610 $awhich. 610 $awith. 615 0$aSex role 615 0$aHispanic Americans$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aHispanic American teenage girls$xPsychology. 615 0$aHispanic American teenage girls$xSocial conditions. 676 $a305.235208968073 702 $aDenner$b Jill$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aGuzman$b Bianca$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825350303321 996 $aLatina Girls$94057970 997 $aUNINA
