Remaining and becoming: Cultural crosscurrents in an Hispano school

This ethnographic study looks at the relationship between a school in Northern New Mexico and its rural community. By looking at a school within a community, I hoped to understand the community's expectations about the school being a fitting place for their children. Assuming that a school channels choices for succeeding generations, I designed this research project in Norteno, a pseudonym, around the question: Who are these students learning to be within the historical and sociocultural context of their community? The choices, contingencies, and options open to students are contextualized by how their life histories intersect with the history of their school and community.
