The Latino(a) Condition: A Critical Reader

by Richard Delgado (Editor), Jean Stefancic

All too often, groups who do not effectively define themselves find that others assume the power to explain them. This has been the case with American Latinos(as), as evidenced by demeaning media stereotypes and lack of recognition in other areas. Here, Latinos(as) in major professional fields are speaking back.

[Marina Hernandez · Rating 4 out of 5]

Overall, valuable collection of essays that examine the historical influences that shaped the racialization of Latina/o/x and Hispanic people in the United States. These essays are great for developing a sense of how Latinx Studies/Ethnic Studies scholars frame their work and forge connections between community and academia.

It's a massive beast of a book, but very skim-able and taking one chunk at a time.
