Latinos in the New Millennium is a comprehensive profile of Latinos
in the United States: looking at their social characteristics,
group relations, policy positions and political orientations. The
authors draw on information from the 2006 Latino National Survey
(LNS), the largest and most detailed source of data on Hispanics in
America. This book provides essential knowledge about Latinos,
contextualizing research data by structuring discussion around many
dimensions of Latino political life in the US. The encyclopedic
range and depth of the LNS allows the authors to appraise Latinos'
group characteristics, attitudes, behaviors and their views on
numerous topics. This study displays the complexity of Latinos,
from recent immigrants to those whose grandparents were born in the
United States.

This collection of essays breaks new ground in the comparative
study of ethnic and racial minorities by showing that there is a
common ground shared by those in advanced industrial democracies
that differentiates them from Third World and communist countries.
The study offers a unique synthesis of diverse views by those who
have focused on long-established or ethnoregional minorities and
those who have studied recent immigrant populations. The analysis
of ethnic tolerance, political factors, and conflict resolution
considers why ethnic and racial conflict and disadvantage endure,
pointing to ways that societies are organized economically and
politically and linked into the international political economy.
Students and experts in comparative and minority politics, ethnic
and Black studies, and sociology will benefit from the observations
and conclusions about the operations of economic and political
markets and how they heighten ethnic and racial inequality. The
general introduction and conclusion offer theoretical overviews and
point to social science paradigms concerning the role of ethnic and
racial minorities in the advanced industrial democracies. Noted
contributors examine immigration policy and ethnic tolerance;
minorities, politics, and the state; political consciousness,
organization and participation; and conflict resolution and public
policy. A lengthy reference list is given. This volume will be of
great interest to interdisciplinary audiences in political science,
sociology/social problems, and ethnic and black studies.
