JASIS, Pablo. Opening Paths: Education and Solidarity with Migrant Farmworkers in California. Espac. blanco, Ser. indagaciones [online]. 2022, vol.32, n.1, pp.91-104. ISSN 1515-9485. http://dx.doi.org/10.37177/unicen/eb32-317.
This study examines an emerging process of participation, advocacy, and activism of Mexican and Mexican American migrant farmworker families in the schooling of their children, at selected schools and rural communities of Southern California. By examining the participants’ narratives and oral histories, it explores dispositions and interactions that motivate and contextualize these parents’ process of participation, and promote stronger school-family partnerships. Equitable, participatory collaborations between migrant parents and their children’s school personnel hold the potential to benefit school achievement among these students, a population whose socio- economic status, as well as their school performance, have historically lagged substantially behind their peers. This study addresses these questions: What are the dispositions, interactions, events, contexts that support the participation, advocacy, and activism of migrant farm worker parents in the schooling of their children? and, what are the values, reflections, and challenges contextualizing the migrant parents’ process of awareness, solidarity, and commitment among them?
