  • Purposeful parenting by Mexican-heritage mothers

    Margaret Bridges, Shana R Cohen et al.ARTICLECultural Diversity & Ethnic…2022Cited by: 2

    Understanding parents' "concerted cultivation" in differing cultural contexts may facilitate teachers' use of practices that better align with families' home practices and more effectively support the learning of Latinx children across academic domains.

  • Variation in the Local Segregation of Latino Children—Role of Place, Poverty, and Culture

    Bruce Fuller, Shruti Bathia et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Education2022Cited by: 2References: 37

    Purpose: Does the rising share of Latino students in US schools help to integrate previously White campuses or exacerbate racial and economic segregation over time? This article details trends in the segregation of Latino children enrolled in elementary schools, 2000–2015, then examines how evolving patterns differ among the nation’s school districts. Research Methods: We compiled enrollment data from schools, merging census data on the demograph…

  • Worsening School Segregation for Latino Children

    Open AccessBruce Fuller, Yoonjeon Kim et al.ARTICLEEducational Researcher2019Cited by: 26References: 32

    A half century of research details how segregating racial groups in separate schools corresponds with disparities in funding and quality teachers and culturally narrow curricula. But we know little about whether young Latino children have entered less or more segregated elementary schools over the past generation. This article details the growing share of Latino children from low-income families populating schools, 1998 to 2010. Latinos became mo…

  • Home activities of Mexican American children

    Margaret Bridges, Shana R Cohen et al.ARTICLECultural Diversity & Ethnic…2014References: 6

    The question of how home activities advance the early social and cognitive development of Latino children receives growing attention from psychologists and social scientists. Some scholars and practitioners, focused on promoting "school readiness," frame the problem as weak parenting, signaled by insufficient rich language or academic skills. Other theorists, rooted in ecocultural theory, argue that early socialization and cognitive engagement ar…

  • Commands, competence, and cariño

    Alejandra Livas-Dlott, Bruce Fuller et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2010Cited by: 14References: 10

    Early research on the socialization of Latino children has posited that mothers exercise authoritarian practices, compared with lateral reasoning (authoritative) strategies emphasized by Anglo mothers. This work aimed to categorize fixed types of parenting practices tied to the mother's personality rather than to culturally bounded contexts; it often ignored the emotional warmth or harshness present in compliance attempts and relied on interview …

  • The Health and Cognitive Growth of Latino Toddlers

    Open AccessBruce Fuller, Margaret Bridges et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Health Journal2009

    Epidemiologists have shown how birth outcomes are generally robust for immigrant Latina mothers, despite often situated in poor households, advanced by their strong prenatal and nutritional practices. But little is known about (1) how these protective factors may differ among Latino subgroups, (2) the extent to which birth outcomes, ongoing maternal practices, and family supports advance Latino toddlers' health and physical growth, and (3) whethe…

  • Trafficking Words

    Open AccessMargaret BridgesCHAPTERFiction and Economy2007

    As recently as 1977, British Airways published a tiny French phrasebook ‘for visitors to Belgium, France and Switzerland’. The editor’s foreword is explicit about the purpose of its ‘carefully compiled’ lists, which should provide ‘the tourist and businessman [sic]’ with ‘the appropriate phrase for every situation’ (Harvard 1977, v). Needless to say, its bilingual lists of commodities and ‘useful phrases’ speak volumes about the commercial activi…

    Open AccessSusanna Loeb, Margaret Bridges et al.ARTICLEEconomics of Education Review2007

  • The king, the foreigner, and the Lady with a mead cup

    Margaret BridgesARTICLEMultilingua1999

    Unlike the all-male genealogical narratives of the conquest and settlement by Germanic warriors of Celtic Britannia (as found in Bede, or The Anglo-Saxon Chronicles), the British histories of Nennius, Geoffrey of Monmouth and Lazamon associate the 'Coming of the Saxons' with the wiles of a woman, the daughter of the Germanic warlord Hengest. This article analyzes the articulation of the foreign and the native in a recurring episode which brings t…
