TL;DR: The authors explored some of the socio-cultural factors, peer dynamics, and labor force demands that may be conspiring to propagate the vanishing of Latino males from the American education pipeline, a trend that is especially evident at the secondary and postsecondary levels.
Abstract: Latino male students are “vanishing” from the American education pipeline, a trend that is especially evident at the secondary and postsecondary levels.

The authors expound on various theoretical and empirical explanations for this persisting and troubling trend.
