Abstract	This article presents a (post)anthropological framework for understanding adolescent coming-of-age in U.S. public high schools. Coming-of-age is conceived as a complex, fluid, seemingly contradictory process of identity formation and community integration in which adolescents representing diverse ethnic, racial, gender, and social class locations navigate myriad conflicting cultural crosscurrents through cultural productions within the institutional structures of their schools as well as economic, kinship, religious, and political domains of community life. A case study of an underachieving Mexican American senior shows how these navigations may open up creative possibilities as adolescents make their passages through high school. (Author).
