In Latinos in American Society, Ruth Enid Zambrana brings together the latest research on Latinos in the United States to demonstrate how national origin, age, gender, socioeconomic status, and education affect the well-being of families and individuals. By mapping out how these factors result in economic, social, and political disadvantage, Zambrana challenges the widespread negative perceptions of Latinos in America and the single story of Latinos in the United States as a monolithic group.Synthesizing an increasingly substantial body of social science research-much of it emerging from the interdisciplinary fields of Chicano studies, U.S. Latino studies, critical race studies, and family studies-the author adopts an intersectional "social inequality lens" as a means for understanding the broader sociopolitical dynamics of the Latino family, considering ethnic subgroup diversity, community context, institutional practices, and their intersections with family processes and well-being. Zambrana, a leading expert on Latino populations in America, demonstrates the value of this approach for capturing the contemporary complexity of and transitions within diverse U.S. Latino families and communities. This book offers the most up-to-date portrait we have of Latinos in America today. 606 $aHispanic Americans$xSocial conditions 606 $aHispanic American families 606 $aHispanic Americans$xStudy and teaching (Higher) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHispanic Americans$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aHispanic American families. 615 0$aHispanic Americans$xStudy and teaching (Higher) 676 $a973/.0468 700 $aZambrana$b Ruth E$01033339 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456542003321 996 $aLatinos in American society$92451830 997 $aUNINA
