The first casebook of its kind, Latinos and the Law: Cases and
Materials addresses a rich array of topics that are relevant to the
largest and most diverse ethnic minority group in the United
States. Ranging from the legal and social construction of race,
ethnicity, and gender, to language, education, immigration,
stereotyping, workplace discrimination, and rebellious lawyering,
the new edition highlights the Spanish colonization of Latin
America to provide further context for the subsequent colonial
treatment of its people and leaders by the United States. Beginning
with sociolegal histories of the main Latino/a subgroups, early
sections of the book contextualize the Latino/a condition within
the United States' historical conquest of and hegemony over Latin
American peoples, as well as their centurial immigration to the
United States. Updated materials on immigration include recent
border-control initiatives and rhetoric, Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals (DACA), and the controversial separation of
asylum-seeking families from Central America. New materials on the
workplace feature attacks on unionization, struggles over the
minimum wage and fair pay, and one-sided abuse of H-2 visas. The
book also contains new coverage of racial insults, stereotypes,
popular culture, and inter-group tensions, including an emerging
theory of multi-group oppression. Throughout, Latinos and the Law
utilizes theoretical approaches that have proven highly useful in
understanding Latinos, such as the white-over-black (or
black-white) binary of race in the United States, similar concepts
of critical race theory and "LatCrit" theory, and the internal
colony model of postcolonial theory. With a wide selection of
cases, statutes, documents, notes, questions, and bibliographic
references, Latinos and the Law updates a vital resource for
scholars, teachers, and students interested in understanding the
largest and most diverse ethnic minority group in the United
States.
