| Summary |
"This contributed reader will introduce students to the variety and complexity of Latinxs' experiences in the U.S., and prepare them for further study in this interdisciplinary field. The opening essay, written by the editors, will offer a broad overview of the approximately 59 million people in the U.S. who identify as Hispanic. The rest of the book will consist of approximately 20 contributed readings from Latina(o)/Chicana(o) scholars on a range of subjects including immigration, citizenship, and deportation; racial identities; political participation and power; educational and economic achievement; family; religion; media and popular culture. Although the essays will be written for lower-division undergraduates, they will reflect many of the leading theoretical and methodological approaches in the field. The essays will be unified by an intersectional approach, demonstrating how experiences and life chances of Latinxs are also shaped by gender, social class, sexuality, age, and citizenship status"-- Provided by publisher |
