Klappentext This book addresses the development and rapid growth of the Latino population in the United States and how race-based discrimination, hate crimes, and other prejudicial attitudes, some of which have been codified via public policy, have grown in response. Salinas explores the degrading practice of racial profiling, the abuse in immigration enforcement, the use of deadly force against immigrants, and the barriers Latinos encounter as they wend their way through the court system. Zusammenfassung Latinos in the United States encompass a broad range of racial, socioeconomic, and sociopolitical identities.
