{"product_id":"2900415934571","title":"Latino Crossings : Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and the Politics of Race and Citizenship","description":"Despite being lumped together by census data, there are deep divisions between Mexicans and Puerto Ricans living in the United States. Mexicans see Puerto Ricans as deceptive, disagreeable, nervous, rude, violent, and dangerous, while Puerto Ricans see Mexicans as submissive, gullible, naive, and folksy. The distinctly different styles of Spanish each group speaks reinforces racialized class differences. Despite these antagonistic divisions, these two groups do show some form of \u003ci\u003eLatinidad,\u003c\/i\u003e or a shared sense of Latin American identity. \u003ci\u003eLatino\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eCrossings \u003c\/i\u003eexamines how these constructions of Latino self and otherness interact with America's dominant white\/black racial consciousness. \u003ci\u003eLatino Crossings \u003c\/i\u003eis a striking piece of scholarship that transcends the usually rigid boundary between Chicano\/Mexican and Puerto Rican studies.
