Beschreibung
"As the major driver of US demographic change, Latina/os are reshaping key aspects of the social, economic, political, and cultural landscape of the country. In this second edition of 'Latina/os in the United States', Sâaenz, Morales, and Rayo-Garza highlight the experiences of Latina/os in a variety of domains, including gender and sexuality, education, political engagement, work and economic life, family, religion, health and health care, crime and victimization, mass media, and the arts. This updated edition includes the latest demographic trends, discusses recent mass shootings of Latina/os, the impact of the Trump administration, and COVID-19. With greater focus on the Afro-Latina/o population and Latina/o social thought, it offers sociological perspectives on both native-born and immigrant populations, and engages readers in thinking about the major issues that Latina/os are facing. The book clearly illustrates the diverse experiences of the array of Latina/o groups in the United States, with some of these groups succeeding socially and economically, while other groups continue to experience major social and economic challenges. The book concludes with a discussion of what the future holds for Latina/os."--Back cover.
