Description: Reviews the pre- and post-migration educational experiences of immigrant young adults with a particular focus on members of the Latino community. Combining quantitative data with original interviews, Lukes provides a look at a population that is both ubiquitous and overlooked, challenging existing assumptions about those categorized as ?dropouts? and closely examines the historical contexts for educational interruption in the chosen subgroup. --From publisher description.
