SUBVERTING STATE VIOLENCE 98
They're cool with it. They like it. It's the same music that Hispanic people listen to or
like.
Avery and Shay are both members of the school’s chapter of the Students Deserve
organization at their high school. Students Deserve is and organization that is partnered with
Black Lives Matter, and work to ensure that Black Lives Matter in schools. Shay stated,
They've launched a new campaign where we're trying to end the use of pepper spray on
campus. Those two programs, I feel like much on one are just for more representation of
us Black and brown people. Students Deserve, overall, just wants for the whole child.
They just want us to be treated better in society starting in schools.
Avery framed the efficacy of the organization and her efforts by emphasizing the agency
displayed by students,
Students Deserve is completely student-led. Adults really only help us with
transportation, with money, stuff that only really adults can do, but students lead the
meetings, students in the board members, students are press liaisons. I’m really proud of
myself and all the other young Black and Brown students that are doing this. We focus
around making Black Lives Matter in schools and what that means for us is making
schools a safer place for Black, Brown, and Muslim students. Very recently, we just
ended a policy in our school district that disproportionately searched Black, Brown, and
Muslim students that had really terrible effects and cost a lot of money.

| 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. |
