This paper presents a case study of a caring school district located in a farmworker community composed largely of Latinx families.

Stevenson, Alma D.; Beck, Scott – Journal of Children's Literature, 2021
The educational needs of the children of migrant laborers have often been neglected by educators who have dismissed them as someone else's responsibility (Vocke, 2007). The migrants' complex transnational experiences have been largely overlooked in school curricula. This deficiency allows anti-migrant attitudes to fester among teachers and…

Smith, Julia; Clegg, Jens – Early Child Development and Care, 2021
In the United States, migrant and seasonal farmworkers mostly of Latino origin work seasonal jobs on large scale farms. Because many of these jobs are temporary, farmworkers often move frequently across state lines and international borders to follow the work in agriculture. Many farmworkers travel with families including young children and one…

Barvosa, Edwina – Aztlan: A Journal of Chicano Studies, 2011
Two of the most significant themes in Chicana feminist thought are the character of mestiza consciousness and the view that political solidarity--that is, the uniting of diverse people in common cause--should build upon diversity among peoples rather than on a single shared identity. Numerous Chicana and Latina feminists have connected these two…

LePrevost, Catherine E.; Storm, Julia F.; Asuaje, Cesar R.; Cope, W. Gregory – Journal of Extension, 2014
Migrant and seasonal farmworkers are typically Spanish-speaking, Latino immigrants with limited formal education and low literacy skills and, as such, are a vulnerable population. We describe the development of the "Pesticides and Farmworker Health Toolkit", a pesticide safety and health curriculum designed to communicate to farmworkers…

Loi, Claudia X. Aguado; McDermott, Robert J. – American Journal of Health Education, 2010
Conducting evaluations that are both valid and ethical is imperative for the support and sustainability of programs that address underserved and vulnerable populations.

This study focuses on the role of social ties and human capital in the integration of Latino immigrants into the local economy. This analysis extends earlier research by focusing on more rural contexts with limited labor-market opportunities and less access to social resources provided by coethnics. We reconsider conclusions of previous studies by…
