Finding place in displacement: Latinx youth and schooling along the borderlands.

Global trends of international displacement are rising to historical levels, and in the United States, the Trump Administration has proactively initiated legislation to
restrict immigration by displaced peoples and build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico. This is a reality for Latinx youth living along the U.S./Mexican border in the current political climate, where not only do they battle inequitable educational opportunities, but also a heightened sense of racial discrimination and profiling. This paper argues that it is crucial for teachers along the U.S./Mexican borderland
to implement a culturally relevant curriculum to help Latinx youth fight for social justice in these concerning times.
