SUBVERTING STATE VIOLENCE 58

altered their relationship to power and how they negotiated power.
After the interviews were complete, they were transcribed and individually analyzed.
During the interview analysis “it is possible to interpret relations between external (social)
contingencies and internal (individual and self-reflective) experience. Often this includes an
examination not only of the participant’s social experience but also of multiple truths and shifting
identity positions” (Clandinin & Rosiek, 2007). The process of analysis involved piecing
together data, making the invisible apparent, and determining the significance of a variety of
events (Wertz, 2011). The interview data analysis required emplotment, which dictates that the
most representationally foregrounding characteristics from the many events of a life lead towards
ending, resolution, and analysis (Wortham, 2000). The main storylines that emerge were
identified through the use of propositional and subsequent cues as they are embodied in
interactional events. Both the content and narration are important. This methodology involved
the identification of patterns by participants and the analyst. Abstracting between referential and
non-referential cues was also part of the analytical process.

and comparative (Corbin & Strauss, 2008). The primary method for data analysis involved
engaging with the research questions and making obvious connections between responses from
interviews that may have directly addressed those questions. This organization of raw data into
categories helped to develop A priori codes for the codebook, which were structured using open

| 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. |
