Rese�a del editor:

The U.S. Census Bureau describes Latinos/as as “the largest minority ethnic community” in the United States. Yet biases and unequal treatment still plague this growing population, and its struggles to secure equal rights and justice remain largely unknown. Linking the international and domestic dimensions of the Latino/a presence in the United States, this book explores the historical and contemporary Latino/a experience of discrimination and economic and social injustice. Using Latino/a viewpoints, author Jos� Luis Mor�n provides a deeper understanding of pressing issues within these communities, giving insights into the elusiveness of equality and fairness for Latinos/as in the United States. Mor�n also offers ideas on how to expose and reduce bias and other inequities within the justice system and the greater society.In addition to presenting an alternative approach to working with Latino/a youths and families, this book calls for a broadening of existing concepts of rights and justice in the United States. In so doing, Mor�n incorporates international human rights norms and principles of economic, social, and cultural rights to address the persistent inequalities and injustices that Latino/a communities confront in the United States.
