Reviews

This book uniquely compares processes of identity formation among three groups of young women-white, African American and Puerto Rican, and Latinas. The inclusion of racialized minorities like Puerto Ricans as well an non-white immigrants is particularly important. - Catherine Raissiguier, author of Becoming Women/Becoming Workers: Identity Formation in a French Vocational School I found the author's careful and convincing portrayal of how race/ethnicity, gender, and social class collectively influence identity among these girls fascinating. The whole notion of identity construction-and particularly the role that schools play in its evolution-is underdeveloped in the educational literature. This book has important ramifications. - Ann Locke Davidson, author of Making and Molding Identity in Schools: Student Narratives on Race, Gender, and Academic Engagement
