"Latinx" (pronounced 'La-teen-ex) is the gender-neutral term that
covers the largest racial minority in the United States, 17 percent
of the country. This is the fastest-growing sector of American
society, containing the most immigrants. It is the poorest ethnic
group in the country, whose political empowerment is altering the
balance of forces in a growing number of states. And yet, Latin
barely figure in America's racial conversation-the US census does
not even have a category for "Latino." In this groundbreaking
discussion, Ed Morales explains how Latin political identities are
tied to a long Latin American history of mestizaje, translatable as
"mixedness" or "hybridity", and that this border thinking is both a
key to understanding bilingual, bicultural Latin cultures and
politics and a challenge to America's infamously black/white racial
regime. This searching and long-overdue exploration of a crucial
development in American life updates Cornel West's bestselling Race
Matters with a Latin inflection.
