Latino/a Thought - Culture, Politics, and Society (Hardcover)

This volume brings together writings that shape Latino consciousness, culture and activism. The historical anthology presents cross-cultural writings - especially from Mexican, Puerto Rican and Cuban writers and political documents - that shape the ideology and experience of US Latinos. Students can read, first hand, the works or authors who most shaped their cultural heritage. They are guided by introductions that set each article or document in its historical context and describe its relevance today. The writings touch on many themes, but are guided by this text's concern for a quest for public citizenship among all Latino populations and a better understanding of racialized populations in the USA today.
