Vaca examines relations between Latinos and blacks in the United States, looking at the conflicts between the two ethnic groups. Vaca notes that conflict between blacks and various Hispanic groups has been rising. He tends to make "Latinos" into something of a monolithic group, and not to notice the presence of black Latinos (Dominicans, for example). Still, this is an interesting and worthwhile read, in particular for the way it points out that what is happening between blacks and Latinos is, essentially, ethnic conflict. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
"A hard and unnerving look at how changing demographics will forever alter our country's dialogue on race." -- San Jose Mercury News As Latino and African Americans increasingly live side by side in large urban centers, as well as in suburban clusters, the idealized concept of a "Rainbow Coalition" would suggest that these two disenfranchised groups are natural political allies. Indeed, as the number of Latinos has increased dramatically over the last ten years, competition over power and resources between these two groups has led to surprisingly antagonistic and uncooperative interactions. Many African Americans now view Latinos, because of their growth in numbers, as a threat to their social, economic, and political gains. Nicolas C. Vaca debunks the myth of "The Great Union" and offers the hope he believes each community could learn from, in order to achieve a mutually agreed upon agenda. More than simply unveiling the problem, The Presumed Alliance offers optimistic solutions to the future relations between Latino and Black America. No library descriptions found. |
