Synopsis:
Delgado-Gaitan and Trueba examine the way that the first generation of Hispano children were reared by immigrant parents in one community. The children's transition from novices in the US system, to more experienced participants requires drastic cultural and social change. Often the transition represents a change from a rural home environment to an advanced technological society, where the acquisition of new cultural knowledge, new language and new values, varies largely according to the families' socio-economic, political, and educational opportunities. To make this adjustment, families, (especially children), must have high motivation and clear rewards. However, the children of such communities are able to draw upon their own rich cultural and linguistic values (ethnic loyalty, collective spirit, respect for elders, commitment to hard work, interaction strategies and the organization of discourse) to empower themselves in the struggle to acquire democratic values, freedom, education and economic opportunities.
