  • Summary

    Critical consciousness has been established conceptually and by research as an empowering tool that supports the development of youth facing social oppression. An evolving body of literature suggests that critical consciousness can also be helpful for undocumented immigrant youth, a group that is impacted by a history of racialized anti-immigrant policy that more harshly disadvantages people of color (e.g., Indigenous People, Latinx, Black, and Asian). This chapter summarizes the state of the science in the growing research examining how critical consciousness develops among undocumented youth, and the outcomes that it fosters in education, career development, and mental health. The chapter also draws on historical perspectives examining the development of critical consciousness among undocumented immigrants, including those who are beneficiaries of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). The chapter ends with practice recommendations for individuals serving undocumented youth in education, social services, workforce, health, and mental health settings.
