Particularly for immigrant families, home ownership is a way to assimilate into American culture and community. However, Latinos, who make up the country?s largest minority population, have largely been unable to gain this level of inclusion. Instead, they are forced to cling to the fringes of property rights and ownership through overcrowded rentals, transitory living arrangements, and, at best, home acquisitions through subprime lenders.In Tierra y Libertad, Steven W. Bender traces the history of Latinos? struggle for adequate housing opportunities, from the nineteenth century to today?s anti-immigrant policies and national mortgage crisis. Spanning southwest to northeast, rural to urban, Bender analyzes the legal hurdles that prevent better housing opportunities and offers ways to approach sweeping legal reform. Tierra y Libertad combines historical, cultural, legal, and personal perspectives to document the Latino community?s ongoing struggle to make America home. 410 0$aCitizenship and migration in the Americas. 606 $aHispanic Americans$xHousing 606 $aAmerican Dream 606 $aImmigrants$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHispanic Americans$xHousing. 615 0$aAmerican Dream. 615 0$aImmigrants 676 $a363.5/9868073 700 $aBender$b Steven$01030696 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458675503321 996 $aTierra y libertad$92488625 997 $aUNINA
