Since critical race theory pioneers Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic compiled the first edition of \u003cb\u003eThe Latino\/a Condition\u003c\/b\u003e in 1998, the population has continued to grow exponentially, while scholarship on Latinos\/as has grown just as quickly. The second edition of \u003cb\u003eThe Latino\/a Condition\u003c\/b\u003e brings together a wide range of new and classic Latino and Latina voices from the fields of law, sociology, history, media studies, and politics to address questions such as:\u003cbr\u003e *Who exactly is a Latino? Who is Hispanic? Who is Chicano?\u003cbr\u003e *How did Spanish-speaking people come to live in the United States?\u003cbr\u003e *Is the Latino family a source of strength or oppression? What about Catholicism?\u003cbr\u003e *Should the United States try to control Latino immigration, and is this even possible?\u003cbr\u003e *What are the most common media stereotypes of Latino people?\u003cbr\u003e *Are Latinos white? What role does law play in the racial construction of the group?\u003cbr\u003e Collecting a wealth of perspectives on these and other issues central to the Latino\/a experience, Delgado and Stefancic offer a broad portrait of Latino\/a life in the United States at the beginning of the twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"NYU Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52563818512664,"sku":"9780814720400","price":29.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-latino-a-condition-a-critical-reader-second-edition-paperback-softback-9780814720400","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
