Some of these cases have reached the United States Supreme Court, whose rulings over more than a century have both expanded and restricted the legal rights of Latinos, creating a complex terrain of power relations between the U.S. government and the country's now-largest ethnic minority. To map this legal landscape, Latinos and American Law examines fourteen landmark Supreme Court cases that have significantly affected Latino rights, from Botiller v. Dominguez in 1889 to Alexander v. Sandoval in 2001."-from Amazon.comHispanic AmericansLegal status, laws, etcUnited StatesCasesHispanic AmericansLegal status, laws, etc.342.7308/73Soltero Carlos R.1969-1518247MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777800803321Latinos and American law3755686UNINA
