University of Arizona assistant professor Julio Cammarota has conducted what the book’s publisher say is one of the most extensive studies on Hispanic youth.
Cammarota, who teaches at the UA’s Bureau of Applied Research in Anthropology and the Mexican American Studies and Research Center, wrote the book based on his observations and extensive interviews of youth living in “El Pueblo,” which is the name he gives to the barrio area along the California coast where he conducted his research.
The book, titled “Sueños Americanos, Barrio Youth Negotiating Social and Cultural Identities,” is published by The University of Arizona Press.
“In my research I found that education is a primary route to rewarding employment and economic security,” Cammarota said. “And that education is particularly significant for the future prospects of children who are ethnic minorities, were born into disadvantaged economic circumstances, or are dealing with language barriers.”"*
