Resumo
This case study examines José, a bilingual Latino fifth-grader, and his complex and dynamic engagements in travesuras (mischievous behaviors). José's travesuras served to disassociate him from being labeled a 'schoolboy.' This disassociation was evident in how José: (1) renounced 'school-like' work and (2) downplayed his intelligence. José had been pigeonholed—for the most part—as a smart student who should have known better than to behave inappropriately. Implications point to how to create more nurturing and enriching experiences for urban Latino youth such as José.
