The Latino Challenge to Black America: Towards a Conversation Between African-Americans and Hispanics
examines the hot button issues and problems that conflict and unite blacks and Latinos. It looks at how both groups see and interpret those issues and problems through the prism of their experiences. It’s a highly readable, fast paced, cutting edge book that blends the personal and the analytical, and that ultimately can serve as a guide to navigate race and ethnic relations through 21st Century America. The book will be published jointly in Spanish and English.
