Latino/a Thought: Culture, Politics, and Society

Looking at the "third force" that US Latino/as have become, Vásquez (history of ideas, Sonoma State U., California) and Torres (education/political science/urban planning, U. of California, Irvine) direct students of these 29 readings to ponder questions of power, language, and daily life. Appendices include a comparative chronology of major events in select Latin countries and the US; maps relating to conquest and immigration; and a model for service learning, community organizing, research and policymaking.
