लॉस एंजिलिस में किंडरगार्टन से बारहवीं कक्षा तक बहिष्करण और अदृश्यता को चुनौती: ग्वाटेमाला मूल के प्रवासी समुदाय के युवाओं के अनुभव

सारांश

यह लेख कैलिफ़ोर्निया के लॉस एंजिलिस में किंडरगार्टन से बारहवीं कक्षा तक की स्कूली शिक्षा में ग्वाटेमाला मूल के प्रवासी समुदाय के युवाओं द्वारा अनुभव किए गए बहिष्करण और अदृश्यता की पड़ताल करता है। अध्ययन अर्ध-संरचित साक्षात्कारों और लैटिनेक्स समुदायों की मूलनिवासी पहचानों के आलोचनात्मक अध्ययन (Critical Latinx Indigeneities) पर आधारित है। यह प्रतिभागियों के अनुभवों को मूलनिवासी पहचान और नस्ली वर्गीकरण के सीमापार इतिहासों के संदर्भ में रखता है। लेख जाँचता है कि भाषा, मूलनिवासी पृष्ठभूमि और राष्ट्रीयता मिलकर किस तरह तय करती हैं कि स्कूलों में किन पहचानों और इतिहासों को मान्यता मिलती है।

निष्कर्ष बताते हैं कि ग्वाटेमाला मूल के प्रतिभागियों ने, चाहे वे मूलनिवासी समुदायों से थे या अन्य समुदायों से, अपने समुदायों का इतिहास खोजकर इस अदृश्यता को चुनौती दी। उन्होंने स्वयं जानकारी जुटाई और छात्र संगठनों, कॉलेज के पाठ्यक्रमों तथा अन्य परिसरों, और समुदाय-आधारित संगठनों के माध्यम से सीखा। लेख मध्य अमेरिकी अध्ययन के लिए ऐसे शैक्षिक मंच विकसित करने की आवश्यकता पर बल देता है जहाँ नस्ल और प्रवासन का आलोचनात्मक विश्लेषण हो और ग्वाटेमाला मूल के समुदायों के इतिहास और अनुभवों को अधिक जगह मिले।

मुख्य शब्द — ग्वाटेमाला मूल का प्रवासी समुदाय, शैक्षिक बहिष्करण, अदृश्यता, लैटिनेक्स समुदायों की मूलनिवासी पहचानों का आलोचनात्मक अध्ययन, मध्य अमेरिकी अध्ययन, लॉस एंजिलिस।
