A timely and groundbreaking argument that all Americans must grapple with Latinos dynamic racial identity--because it impacts everything we think we know about race in America Latinos have long influenced everything from electoral politics to popular culture yet many people instinctively regard them as recent immigrants rather than a longstanding racial group. In Inventing Latinos Laura G mez a leading expert on race law and society illuminates the fascinating race-making unmaking and re-making of Latino identity that has spanned centuries leaving a permanent imprint on how race operates in the United States today. Pulling back the lens as the country approaches an unprecedented demographic shift (Latinos will comprise a third of the American population in a matter of decades) G mez also reveals the nefarious roles the United States has played in Latin America--from military interventions and economic exploitation to political interference--that taken together have destabilized national economies to send migrants northward over the course of more than a century. Its no coincidence that the vast majority of Latinos migrate from the places most impacted by this nations dirty deeds leading G mez to a bold call for reparations. In this audacious effort to reframe the often-confused and misrepresented discourse over the Latinx generation G mez provides essential context for todays most pressing political and public debates--representation voice interpretation and power--giving all of us a brilliant framework to engage cultural controversies elections current events and more.About author(s):Laura E.
