This article explores notions of belonging and citizenship for “American Mexican” students—Mexican‐heritage youth born in the United States who return to Mexico with their families. Our findings reveal belonging as a sociocultural practice that participants negotiated spatially and relationally, chiefly by making their US‐born status more and less visible within particular spaces at school. The experiences of American‐Mexican youth reveal the crucial roles of migration and belonging in shaping civic identities and future potentials in a transnational world.

本文探讨了“美国墨西哥”学生的归属和公民身份的概念，这些学生是在美国出生的墨西哥裔青年，他们与家人一起返回墨西哥。我们的发现揭示出归属感是一种社会文化习俗，参与者通过在空间上和关系上进行谈判，主要是通过使其在美国的地位在学校的特定空间中越来越不可见。美国-墨西哥青年的经历揭示了移民和归属感在塑造跨国世界中公民身份和未来潜力方面的关键作用。
