Informationen zum Autor Francisco H. Vázquez is professor of history and philosophy and director of the Hutchins Institute for Public Policy Studies and Community Action at Sonoma State University, California. Among his publications are: "Philosophy in Mexico: The Opium of the Intellectuals or a Prophetic Insight," (Canadian Journal of Political and Social Theory, Vol. 4, No. 3 , 1980) and "Chicanology: A Postmodern Analysis of Meshicano Discourse," (Perspectives in Mexican Amercian Studies, Volume 3, 1992). Klappentext Latino/a Thought is unique in its presentation of cross cultural writings-especially from Mexican, Puerto Rican, and Cuban writers and political documents-that shape the ideology and experience of U.S. Latinos. Students can read, first hand, the works or authors who most shaped the Latino/a heritage. They are guided by vivid introductions that set each article or document in its historical context and describe its relevance today. The writings touch on many themes, but are guided by this book's concern for a quest for public citizenship among all Latino populations and a better understanding of racialized populations in the U.S. today.
