Abstract

This article provides a counterstory of a formerly undocumented Latina student's experiences navigating school and music education in the United States. Using tenets of undocumented critical theory (UndocuCrit) and counter-storytelling, I share Vivian's journey through secondary and postsecondary education as she encountered systemic barriers in pursuit of a career in music education. Vivian's narrative revealed institutional hindrances that disrupted access to music education at both secondary and postsecondary levels. Notably, shifting policies, misinformation, limited access to funding, and issues with immigration documents interfered with Vivian's aspirations of becoming a certified, full-time music educator. Unwavering familial support and legal assistance from a skilled attorney aided her pursuit of higher education. Eventually, Vivian fashioned a new path in a different field of study and now uses her experiential knowledge to assist others who are undocumented. Possibilities for working with undocumented immigrant students and families are discussed in light of fluid immigration policies and the ongoing sociopolitical climate.

“否认美国”：薇薇安的“无文件身份”反诉

这篇文章讲述了一位前无证拉丁裔学生在美国学校和音乐教育中的经历。利用未记录的批评理论（UndocuCrit）和反叙事的原则，我分享了薇薇安在中学和中学后教育中的历程，她在追求音乐教育事业时遇到了系统性障碍。薇薇安的叙述揭示了阻碍中学和中学后音乐教育的体制障碍。值得注意的是，政策的转变、错误信息、获得资金的途径有限以及移民文件的问题干扰了薇薇安成为一名认证全职音乐教育家的愿望。毫无保留的家庭支持和一位熟练律师的法律援助帮助她接受了高等教育。最终，Vivian在另一个研究领域开辟了一条新的道路，现在她利用自己的经验知识帮助其他没有证件的人。根据流动的移民政策和当前的社会政治气候，讨论了与无证移民学生和家庭合作的可能性。
