SUBVERTING STATE VIOLENCE 115
Mary used Twitter to connect with peers and increase their awareness. She also has used
social media to connect with social justice organizations and has recruited the ANSWER
Coalition of Los Angeles to come speak at her school.
I'm constantly on Twitter, using my Twitter fingers. It's funny because I'm trying to think
of ways that I can talk to my peers because I'm 19 and most 19-year-olds are not on the
same thing that I'm on as far as trying to fix the world. Because I think that we've become
complacent and we've been taught that we can just trust the government and they'll figure
it out for us, and we can just sit back. I think that the recent years have proved the exact
opposite. I'm making efforts is trying to educate my peers and even adults. Really the
social media has our heads really deep in the sand and we can't really see out of it. I guess
I'm just trying to put people on.
Rodrigo has utilized social media to expand his knowledge of global revolutions and

political and I know a lot of people don't view things I view online. I thought, "What if I
start reposting these things to just keep more of my followers engaged in grassroots,

| 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. |
