Abstract

Latina/o Critical Race Theory (LatCrit) exposes multiple forms of oppression Latina/o students experience, including race, class, gender, language, and immigration status. We utilize this theoretical framework to examine critically the experiences of Latina and Latino undocumented college students in California public institutions of higher education. Through six in-depth interviews with Latina/o undocumented college students, this Article explores the unique experiences and obstacles these students encounter in their college careers. We offer several policy recommendations for California institutions to support better their Latina/o undocumented student populations under current legislative restrictions.
