Since late 2001 more than fifty percent of the babies born in
California have been Latino. When these babies reach adulthood,
they will, by sheer force of numbers, influence the course of the
Golden State. This essential study, based on decades of data,
paints a vivid and energetic portrait of Latino society in
California by providing a wealth of details about work ethic,
family strengths, business establishments, and the surprisingly
robust health profile that yields an average life expectancy for
Latinos five years longer than that of the general population.
Spanning one hundred years, this complex, fascinating analysis
suggests that the future of Latinos in California will be neither
complete assimilation nor unyielding separatism. Instead, the
development of a distinctive regional identity will be based on
Latino definitions of what it means to be American. This updated
edition now provides trend lines through the 2010 Census as well as
information on the 1849 California Constitutional Convention and
the ethnogenesis of how Latinos created the society of "Latinos de
Estados Unidos" (Latinos in the US). In addition, two new chapters
focus on Latino Post-Millennials-the first focusing on what it's
like to grow up in a digital world; and the second describing the
contestation of Latinos at a national level and the dynamics that
transnational relationships have on Latino Post-Millennials in
Mexico and Central America.
