In Latino Professionals in America, Maria Chavez combines rich
qualitative interviews, auto-ethnographic accounts, and policy
analysis to explore the converging oppressions that make it
difficult for Latinos to become professionals and to envision
themselves as successful in those professions. Recounting her own
story, Chavez interviews 31 Latino professionals from across the
nation in a variety of occupations and careers, contextualizing
their experiences amid family struggles and ongoing racism in the
United States. She addresses gender inequality within the Latino
community, arguing that by defending, rationalizing, or ignoring
patriarchy within the Latino community perpetuates systems of
oppression-especially for women; gay, lesbian, bisexual,
transgender, and queer individuals; and others at the
intersections. The experiences of these Latino professionals and
the author's analysis provide a blueprint for what works-one, both
pragmatic and hopeful, that uses real lives to illustrate how a
combination of public policies, people, and perseverance increases
the presence of America's fastest-growing demographic group in the
professional class.
