An ethnographic study of a small, predominantly Mexican American south Texas town, based on fieldwork done over a 14-year period. Foley (anthropology and education, U. of Texas at Austin) studied high school students and the informal, cultural side of pedagogy and school organization; the study reflects the cultural and political ferment of the 1960s and 1970s, and includes reflections on the 1980s by the same youths originally interviewed, now young adults.
