Ethnic minorities & multicultural studies; Hispanic & Latino studies

As the major driver of US demographic change, Latinos are reshaping key aspects of the social, economic, political, and cultural landscape of the country.

In this second edition of Latina/os in the United States, Sáenz, Morales, and Rayo-Garza highlight the experiences of Latinos in a variety of domains, including gender and sexuality, education, political engagement, work and economic life, family, religion, health and health care, crime and victimization, mass media, and the arts. This updated edition includes the latest demographic trends, discusses recent mass shootings of Latinos, the impact of the Trump administration, and COVID-19. With greater focus on the Afro-Latino population and Latina/o social thought, it offers sociological perspectives on both native-born and immigrant populations, and engages readers in thinking about the major issues that Latinos are facing. The book clearly illustrates the diverse experiences of the array of Latino groups in the United States, with some of these groups succeeding socially and economically, while other groups continue to experience major social and economic challenges. The book concludes with a discussion of what the future holds for Latinos.

This book is essential reading for students, social scientists, and policymakers interested in Latinos and their place in contemporary society.

Reviews for Latina/os in the United States: Diversity and Change

“Masterful and necessary reading. This powerful, nuanced analysis of complex inequalities within Latina/o communities is a guiding light, illuminating a way forward for advancing equity, justice, and action.” Nancy López, University of New Mexico “Emphasizing their long history, growth, diversity, and importance for the United States, Rogelio Sáenz and his colleagues have produced the most comprehensive and up-to-date reference on this often misunderstood population.” Edward Telles, University of California, Irvine
