Latino men and boys in the United States are confronted with a
wide variety of hardships that are not easily explained or
understood. They are populating prisons, dropping out of high
school, and are becoming overrepresented in the service industry at
alarming degrees. Young Latino men, especially, have among the
lowest wages earned in the country, a rapidly growing rate of
HIV/AIDS, and one of the highest mortality rates due to homicide.
Although there has been growing interest in the status of men in
American society, there is a glaring lack of research and scholarly
work available on Latino men and boys.
This groundbreaking interdisciplinary volume, edited by renowned
scholars Pedro Noguera, A?da Hurtado and Edward Fergus addresses
the dearth of scholarship and information about Latino men and boys
to further our understanding of the unique challenges and obstacles
that they confront during this historical moment. The contributors
represent a cross section of disciplines from health, criminal
justice, education, literature, psychology, economics, labor,
sociology and more. By drawing attention to the sweeping issues
facing this segment of the population, this volume offers research
and policy a set of principles and overarching guidelines for
decreasing the invisibility and thus the disenfranchisement of
Latino men and boys.
