ABSTRACT
This article analyzes Julio’s counter-storytelling narratives as an undocumented and Latino youth attending schools in the Southeast. Through his narratives, this case study discusses how gender, accent, socioeconomic and immigration status intersect multiple layers of discrimination, pushing Julio out of school prior to his self-deportation. The author concludes how the use of dialogue journaling can allow teachers, school administrators, and other stakeholders to become culturally sensitive to support Latinx youth.
