Описание: This is the first book to explore the multitude of narrative media forms created by and that feature Latinos in the twenty-first century - a radically different cultural landscape to earlier epochs. The essays present a fresh take informed by the explosion of Latino demographics and its divergent cultural tastes.
South Los Angeles is often seen as ground zero for inter-racial conflict and violence in the United States. Since the 1940s, South LA has been predominantly a low-income African American neighborhood, and yet since the early 1990s Latino immigrants—mostly from Mexico and many undocumented—have moved in record numbers to the area. Given that more than a quarter million people live in South LA and that poverty rates exceed 30 percent, inter-racial conflict and violence surprises no one. The real question is: why hasn't there been more? Through vivid stories and interviews, The Neighborhood Has Its Own Rules provides an answer to this question. Based on in-depth ethnographic field work collected when the author, Cid Martinez, lived and worked in schools in South Central, this study reveals the day-to-day ways in which vibrant social institutions in South LA— its churches, its local politicians, and even its gangs—have reduced conflict and kept violence to a level that is manageable for its residents. Martinez argues that inter-racial conflict has not been managed through any coalition between different groups, but rather that these institutions have allowed established African Americans and newcomer Latinos to co-exist through avoidance—an under-appreciated strategy for managing conflict that plays a crucial role in America's low-income communities. Ultimately, this book proposes a different understanding of how neighborhood institutions are able to mitigate conflict and violence through several community dimensions of informal social controls.

Ch 2: 21st-Century Cancer Patterns Among Latinos─Why Disaggregation Matters
Paulo S. Pinheiro, MD, PhD, University of Nevada Las Vegas
The cancer burden of Latinos in the U.S. has doubled in 15 years, with 124,000 deaths in 2014. As the relatively young Latino population ages, their cancer burden will inevitably increase. Accurate characterization of the Latino cancer experience is critical. Latinos are heterogeneous, with varying socioeconomic circumstances, nativity and/or immigration experiences, and cultural values and practices, which all impact cancer risk factors and outcomes. While disaggregated incidence and survival profiles for subgroups─Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Cubans, Central Americans, South Americans, Dominicans─are problematic under the existing cancer surveillance systems, cancer mortality data can be an important source of more accurate granular evidence.
Our research shows that cancer patterns by subgroup can be quite distinct, particularly among first-generation immigrants, according to country of origin. However, patterns tend to become more homogenous for second-generation Latinos and beyond, with an increased burden, for certain cancers across subgroup affiliation, such as U.S.-born Mexicans in California and Puerto Ricans born in New York. Birthplace (U.S. vs. foreign-born), used as a proxy measure of acculturation, is a strong confounder in epidemiological analyses, dramatically influencing cancer patterns. In this context, the examples of colorectal and liver cancers are intriguing. Studying these patterns, often parallel to those of other U.S. minority groups disproportionately impacted by low socioeconomic status such as Native Americans and non-Hispanic blacks, sheds light on the impact of negative acculturation. Here we summarize the findings from several studies on Latino subgroups, addressing the so-called "Hispanic Paradox" and the "Healthy Immigrant Effect"; suggest future research directions; and highlight how these analyses should frame efforts to formulate cancer prevention and control strategies in the burgeoning U.S. Latino population.

Ch 4: Breast Cancer Risk in Hispanics/Latinas: A Panoramic View
Laura Fejerman, PhD, University of California San Francisco
U.S. Hispanic/Latina women (Latinas) and Latin American women have a lower incidence of breast cancer than Non-Hispanic White (NHW) and African American women, but higher incidence of hormone receptor negative tumors and lower breast cancer survival than NHW women. This general statement breaks down when Latina women are stratified into subgroups based on birthplace, country of origin, and region within countries or genetic ancestry. For example, the incidence of breast cancer in Puerto Ricans and Cubans in the U.S. is higher than that of African Americans, which is not the case for Mexican-American women who have a relatively low incidence. Among Latinas in California, those of Caribbean origin have lower breast cancer survival than those from Central or South America. Studies in Colombia and Peru have shown that the prevalence of triple negative breast cancer varies between regions within those countries. In general, higher European genetic ancestry is associated with higher breast cancer risk, and higher African ancestry is associated wi
Why millions of Latinx people don’t access the healthcare system, even in times of need
More than a decade after the passage of the Affordable Care Act, around eleven million Latinx citizens around the country remain uninsured. In Uninsured in Chicago, Robert Vargas explores the roots of this crisis, showing us why, despite their eligibility, Latinx people are the racial group least likely to enroll in health insurance.
Following the lives of forty uninsured Latinx people in Chicago, Vargas provides an up-close look at America’s broken healthcare system, and how it impacts marginalized groups. From excruciatingly long waits and expensive medical bills, to humiliating interactions with health navigators and emergency room staff, he shows us why millions of Latinx people avoid the healthcare system, even in times of need.
With a compassionate eye, Vargas highlights the unique struggles Latinx people face as the largest racial group without health insurance in the United States. An intimate account of the lives of uninsured Latinos, this book imagines new, powerful ways to strengthen our social safety net to better serve our most vulnerable communities.

Описание: This unique compilation of essays and entries provides critical insights into the Latino/a experience with the U.S. criminal justice system. Concerns about immigration`s relationship to crime make accurate information and critical analysis of the utmost importance.
This book fosters a deeper understanding of the growing Latino elderly population and the implications on society. It examines post-WWII demographic and social changes and summarizes research from sociology, psychology, economics, and public health to shed light on the economic, physical, and mental well-being of older Latinos. The political and cultural implications including possible policy changes are also considered. Written in an engaging style, each chapter opens with a vignette that puts a human face on the issues. Boxed exhibits highlight social programs and policies and physical and mental health challenges that impact Latino elders. Web alerts direct readers to sites that feature more detailed information related to the chapter's issues. Each chapter also features an introduction, examples, tables, figures, a summary, and discussion questions. The self-contained chapters can be presented in any order.
Latinos in an Aging World explores:
Real world problems individuals face in dealing with poverty, immigration, and health and retirement decisions
The latest data on Latinos as compared to research on African- and Asian- Americans where appropriate
The unique historical, demographic, social, familial, and economic situations of various Latino subgroups including those from Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Cuba
How ethnicity affects one's position of wealth and power and sense of citizenship.
The consequence of life-long disadvantages and stigmatization on economic, physical, and mental well-being
The impact of one's neighborhood and the proximity to those from similar cultures on quality of life.
The introduction motivates the book and sets the stage for the entire discussion. Chapter 1 reviews the histories of the major Hispanic subgroups along with various theories as they relate to race, ethnicity, and gender that provide a conceptual framework for understanding the later chapters. Demographic, economic, and social profiles of the various Hispanic subgroups are explored in chapter 2. Next the Latino population is explored from various perspectives including the economic and social situations of men and women and their educational, marital and family, and labor force experiences. Chapter 4 examines older immigrants and their families and identifies the resources available to them in their communities that often replicate the cultural and social support system of the old country. Major health risks that older Latinos face as a result of the disadvantages they experience throughout life are examined in chapter 5. Family situations and long-term care and living arrangements of older Hispanics are examined in chapter 6. The impact of neighborhood on quality of life in terms of safety and physical and mental wellbeing is explored in chapter 7. The burden that eldercare can place upon those who bear the responsibility of their daily care is explored in chapter 8. Chapter 9 investigates the gaps in income between minority and non-Hispanic white Americans and reviews what individuals with few resources need to know about financial management. The book concludes with the social, political, and economic implications of the growing Hispanic population and the role of NGOs and other organizations in providing services to older populations.
Intended for courses on Latinos and aging, diversity, race and ethnicity, minorities and aging, adult development and aging, the psychology or sociology or politics of aging, geriatric social work, public health and aging, global aging, social or family policy, and health and society taught in the behavioral and social sciences, ethnic, or Latin American/Chicano Studies, this book also appeals to researchers and practitioners who work with Hispanic families.
