There is nothing else like it. In this well written, tightly organized, and well researched third edition, Chavez powerfully highlights the ongoing impact of the 'Latino Threat' narrative, particularly on Latinos themselves. In light of the current political landscape, where immigration continues to be a hot button issue, this is a highly original and important contribution to debates over citizenship and national belonging.\"\u003cbr\u003e  —Jonathan Xavier Inda, University of Illinois Chicago \"With keen analysis, compelling material, and updated research, this third edition of Leo Chavez's \u003ci\u003eLatino Threat\u003c\/i\u003e offers readers new insight into the nation's response to Latino immigrants, skillfully and thoroughly debunking prevailing myths. This classic book, now covering 18 years, challenges us to reconcile the conflicting and contradictory perceptions of newcomers' impact on our nation, whether seen as a foundation built by immigrants or one under attack. The updated content in this edition enriches the book with a powerful new engagement of ideas that date back centuries. \u003ci\u003eLatino Threat\u003c\/i\u003e continues to be one of the most important books of our time.\"\u003cbr\u003e  —Roberto G.

Written in clear, accessible language, this thoroughly updated edition shows why the concept continues to be crucial for understanding the politics of immigration in the Trump era. The Latino Threat Narrative is absolutely essential reading for cutting through today's heated rhetoric around immigrants and immigration.\"\u003cbr\u003e  —Aviva Chomsky, author of \u003ci\u003eCentral America's Forgotten History: Revolution, Violence, and the Roots of Migration\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eNews media and pundits too frequently perpetuate the notion that Latinos, both US-born and immigrants, are an invading force bent on destroying the American way of life. Leo R. Chavez challenges the basic tenets of this assumption and other myths of the \"Latino threat,\" providing a critical investigation into the fears and prejudices that are used to malign an entire population. In this updated and expanded third edition of his groundbreaking book, Chavez incorporates Donald Trump's emergence in American political life, with particular focus on the US-Mexico border as a site of political theater and the further sharpening of anti-Latino and anti-immigration rhetoric in public discourse. He also includes new discussions of \"anchor babies,\" Dreamers and DACA, Latina reproduction and white replacement theory, and the emotional and psychological effects of negative political rhetoric on those whom it targets. Through trenchant analysis, this book reexamines urgent questions about what it means to be American.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface and Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e  Introduction\u003cbr\u003e  PART I CONSTRUCTING AND CHALLENGING MYTHS\u003cbr\u003e  1.
