Resumen

Este estudio examina el proceso de participación y activismo emergente en una comunidad de trabajadores agrícolas de origen Mexicano en el sur de California, que se organizan para mejorar la educación que reciben sus hijos. Basado en las narrativas de los participantes exploramos las disposiciones que motivan y contextualizan el proceso de participación padres y madres migrantes, promoviendo mayor colaboración entre ellos y el personal escolar. Colaboraciones equitativas y participativas entre familias migrantes y las escuelas a las que asisten sus hijos pueden ser altamente beneficiosas para el desarrollo escolar de estos estudiantes, cuyos indicadores socio-económicos y académicos han estado rezagados históricamente. El estudio examina estas
preguntas: ¿Cuáles son las disposiciones, eventos y contextos que favorecen la participación y el activismo de familias agrícolas migrantes en la escolaridad de sus hijos? ¿Cuáles son las motivaciones y desafíos que contextualizan su proceso de conciencia, solidaridad y compromiso con su educación?
