This study explores how 19 high-risk Latina girls viewed themselves, as well as how others perceived them. The views of eight clinicians were also sought. The girls viewed themselves positively, but they believed others saw them as lowlifes, cholas and always pregnant. Clinicians framed Latinas' problematic behaviors as products of the Latino culture. They neglected explanations involving histories of abuse, trauma, violence and poverty. The girls did speak about such matters, and these comments suggest that young Latinas have an impressive ability to resist the stereotypes while also challenging the simplistic dualisms that are often said to characterize Latino culture.
