"This rich and varied collection gives content and analytic shape to the notion of a pan-ethnic Latino experience in the U.S. The authors use as markers a variety of shared socioeconomic conditions and immigration histories at the heart of these diverse experiences. "Latinos" takes an important step toward carving out a field for empirical and theoretical specification."--Saskia Sassen, author of "Guests and Aliens" "In this thought-provoking volume, scholars from a range of disciplines raise key questions about Latinos in the United States. Admirably complete and judiciously framed, "Latinos" breaks new ground as it presents this group's multiple experiences."--Cecilia Menjivar, author of "Fragmented Ties: Salvadoran Immigrant Networks in America" "This outstanding book makes a highly significant contribution to scholarship on the fast-growing Latino population. There simply is no other book as comprehensive and well documented. "Latinos" will be read by a broad audience of academics (in social science, ethnic studies, policy, education, law), as well as policy makers and analysts trying to understand this group."--Pedro A. Noguera, author of "The Imperatives of Power: Political Change and the Social Basis of Regime Support in Grenada from 1951-1991" "This is a landmark scholarly work in its scope, comprehensiveness, and excellence. It makes an important contribution to improving our understanding of the Latino experience in the United States."--Raul Yzaguirre, President of the National Council of La Raza ""Latinos" brings together the most sophisticated thinking on the changing intellectual complexion of America. Drawing upon scholars in both the humanities and the social sciences, Latinos challenges us to redefine what we mean by 'American' culture and indeed 'America' itself. This book is necessary reading for all those who believe that a fully inclusive definition of American Studies is long overdue."--Henry Louis Gates, Jr., author of "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Black Man" "How and why are Latin American immigrants changing the U.S. socially, culturally, economically, and politically? And how and why do Latino group experiences vary? This fascinating interdisciplinary collection of essays advances our understanding both of the main 'new immigrant' peoples of our time and of the 'new America.'"--Susan Eckstein, author of "Power and Popular Protest: Latin American Social Movements" "The contributors, among the best in the world, raise absolutely riveting questions about immigration, residential segregation, voting behavior, workforce participation, education, gender, health status, and variations among Latino groups (Cubans, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, and others). Latinos is essential reading for anyone who cares about the high ideals of liberty and justice for all."--Richard A. Shweder, author of "Thinking Through Cultures: Expeditions in Cultural Psychology"
