SUBVERTING STATE VIOLENCE 46
and acknowledges that the politics surrounding the identities are often catalysts for larger issues.
This lens of intersectionality abandons the “additive-binary-zero-sum calculus” that often
reduces individuals to assessments of privileges, as opposed to disadvantages (Hancock, 2012).
The relationship of Black and Latinx existence to power is an important part of the study and

Paradigm intersectionality incorporates a five-prong approach to analysis. The prongs are
Categorical Multiplicity, Categorical Intersection, Time Dynamics, Diversity Within, and
Individual-Institutional Relations (Hancock, 2011). Categorical multiplicity acknowledges that
race, gender, class, and sexual orientation are identities that shape each individual life in this
society and can represent various threats to systems of power. Categorical Intersection
recognizes how the categorical multiplicity of an individual results in different experiences of
oppression within systems of power. Time Dynamics refers to the notion that privileged group
membership is fluid and has changed throughout history. It recognizes that minoritized groups
have made progress throughout history. This challenges the defiant ignorance of groups who do
not acknowledge that progress has occurred and of groups with power who do not acknowledge
that some progress is enough or complete (Hancock, 2011). Diversity Within deals with
intersecting categories produce subgroups and different political agendas, and therefore further
exposes power relationships and structures in American politics. Lastly, individual-institutional
interactions positions race, gender, class, and sexual orientation as constructs carried out at
individual, group, and institutional/systemic levels. This comprehensive framework entails a vast
scope of individual existence within systems represented in Figure A (Hancock, 2011). Paradigm
Intersectionality provides an analysis of the critical consciousness development and political
efficacy of Black and Latinx youth that is holistic and pushes beyond interpersonal dynamics.

| Abstract | This qualitative study examines the experiences of Black and Latinx youth, the relationship between their critical consciousness development and political efficacy, and their continual subversion of state violence. The academic literature has predominately focused on critical consciousness solely as theorized by Freire and is often interpreted through neoliberal entities and paradigms, thereby minimizing its socialist, anti-colonial, anti-capitalist theoretical origin. The literature has also gauged political efficacy primarily through traditional metrics of civic engagement and voting that do not traditionally account for varying displays of organizing, activism, intentional non-voting, and other forms of resistance. The study investigated systems of power that converge to shape formal and informal educational experiences of the participants and capture the ways that they developed their critical consciousness and political attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs. As a result of 8 in-depth interviews and analyses of Black and Latinx youth (ages 17-19), snapshots emerged that allowed participants to foreground their experiences and construct meaning making of their worldviews. The findings of the study reveal the complex nature of critical consciousness development for Black and Latinx youth and serve as a model for utilizing critical consciousness and political efficacy as essential frameworks for future study and analyses. The findings add to the limited literature on the experiences of Black and Latinx youth concerning the system of education and its relation to critical consciousness development, political identity formation, and political efficacy. This study aimed to amplify the voices of Black and Latinx youth in a manner that acknowledges their humanity and agency. |
