Abstract
En 中文
Society produces storylines about Latin & eacute; communities, including their placement in racial and linguistic hierarchies, that permeate the mathematics classroom and research in mathematics education. We conducted a discourse analysis of the enunciations used in top-tier mathematics education journals about these communities. The majority of articles we examined functioned to maintain white supremacy by centering dominant (white) storylines and values to maintain a racial hierarchy, with whites above Latin & edot; and other marginalized groups. However, our findings also illuminate the counter-stories of Latin & eacute; communities in mathematics educa-tion research literature. We call for a more critical look at the field of mathematics education research and the norms that have been set for conducting, disseminating, and reflecting on research endeavors about marginalized groups.
