Abstract
In the politically charged atmosphere of the 1960s and 1970s in the Bay Area of northern California, many Latino and Chicano youth formed multiple and fluid identities influenced by their experiences in schools and community organizations and encounters with adults in their neighborhoods. This study examines ethnic identity formation for immigrant and native-born school-age youth as well as adults and college-age students by drawing comparisons between the diverse Latino population in San Francisco and the predominantly Mexican-American population in the East Bay. This contrast highlights the complexities within the story of Latino ethnic identity formation and how this identity is often layered and situational depending on the context.
