Latino Cultural Citizenship: Claiming Identity, Space, and Rights

By: Flores, William

An anthropological study of Latino urban communities in North America, and how they are reshaping themselves and North America as a whole. The loss of community in America is essentially a loss felt by the white middle class. This study of a real, thriving, growing if embattled, community, paints a vivid picture of Latino life, and examines its mechanisms and implications. It also explores how Latinos use cultural expression to gain political rights in the larger culture while still maintaining a vibrant local identity.
