| Summary: |
"The nation's fast-growing Latino population raises a host of vital issues for American politics in the 21st century. What forms of 'belonging' will Latinos embrace, or be able to embrace? To what extent will ugly forms of nativism re-emerge? Will Latinos work to transform citizenship in more regional, trans-national, or multi-national directions? The stimulating essays collected in Suzanne Oboler's Latinos and Citizenship provide enriching food for thought on these and many other crucial questions." - Rogers M. Smith, Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor of Political Science, University of Pennsylvania. |
