"The essays succeed in conveying the diversity of Latino/a communities and experiences through the lenses of settlement patterns, institution building, and policy impact. The collection is a good entry point to the convergence of scholarly literatures on migration, pan-ethnic identities, and local-level studies." —Choice"Twenty years since the publication of the first pathbreaking edition of Latinos in New York, its editors give us the definitive new resource on the contemporary Latinization of New York. Site of the most diverse Latino/a communities, New York City has been at the forefront of processes of Latinization. Thanks to Baver, Falcón, and Haslip-Viera, we now have a collection of essays by some of the most knowledgeable and experienced scholars, journalists, activists, and educators, who bring us up to speed on the political and cultural issues involved in a changing Latino/a landscape in NYC and beyond." —Arlene Davila, New York University"The editors, all keen observers of the Latino communities of New York, have assembled highly knowledgeable and thoughtful analysts to provide thorough and compelling assessments of these increasingly important but still under-studied groups. A must read not only for those interested in the city's diverse communities, but for understanding the dynamics of differentiation within the nation's largest minority population." —John Mollenkopf, Distinguished Professor of Political Science and Sociology, Graduate Center, CUNY"Latinos in New York was the first volume to provide a comprehensive view of the wide range of histories, experiences, and conditions of the changing mix of nationalities of the city's Latino/a population. This new edition captures the most significant continuities, discontinuities, and changes of the last two decades in the city's Latino/a population as a whole and among the various national groups, and is as timely and relevant as was the first edition. The essays in this volume offer a plethora of old and recent demographic data and a broad assortment of information to attain a comprehensive and nuanced portrait of New York Latinos/as, the evolving nature of their communities, and the socioeconomic, educational, and political inequalities, discrimination, and segregation that impact their lives in the city." —Edna Acosta-Belén, distinguished professor emerita, University at Albany, SUNY"Sixteen papers in an expanded and updated second edition examines issues facing the Latino community of New York City, addressing the historical and sociocultural context of Latinos in New York, the diversity constituting the Latino New York, and politics and policy issues affecting New York's Latinos." —Journal of Economic Literature
