Decoding the Hidden Curriculum: Latino/a First-Generation College Students' Influence on Younger Siblings' Educational Trajectory
Delgado, Vanessa
Journal of Latinos and Education, v22 n2 p624-641 2023
Past research demonstrates that familial and community support can aid the academic success of Latino/a students. However, few studies explore how older siblings influence their younger siblings' education trajectory including primary, secondary, and post-secondary education. Drawing on 25 in-depth interviews with Latino/a first-generation college students at a large research university in Southern California, I find that older siblings assist their younger family members by (a) choosing schools, (b) assisting with reading comprehension, (c) helping with homework assignments, and (d) post-high school preparation. In doing do, they demystify norms and rules about education and attempt to position their loved ones on a path of upward mobility. I capture the labor Latino/a children of immigrants provide to their families and how these contributions can result in tensions between parents and children. Findings advance scholarship on intra-immigrant family brokering, Latino/a families, and education.
