Описание: The postwar migration of Puerto Rican men and women to Chicago brought thousands of their children into city schools. These children's classroom experience continued the colonial project begun in their homeland, where American ideologies had dominated Puerto Rican education since the island became a US territory. Mirelsie Vel?zquez tells how Chicago's Puerto Ricans pursued their educational needs in a society that constantly reminded them of their status as second-class citizens. Communities organized a media culture that addressed their concerns while creating and affirming Puerto Rican identities. Education also offered women the only venue to exercise power, and they parlayed their positions to take lead roles in activist and political circles. In time, a politicized Puerto Rican community gave voice to a previously silenced group--and highlighted that colonialism does not end when immigrants live among their colonizers.
A perceptive look at big-city community building, Puerto Rican Chicago reveals the links between justice in education and a people's claim to space in their new home.
Описание: Born in an explosive boom and built through distinct economic networks, San Francisco has a cosmopolitan character that often masks the challenges migrants faced to create community in the city by the bay. Latin American migrants have been part of the city's story since its beginning. Charting the development of a hybrid Latino identity forged through struggle-latinidad-from the Gold Rush through the civil rights era, Tomas F. Summers Sandoval Jr. chronicles the rise of San Francisco's diverse community of Latin American migrants.This latinidad, Summers Sandoval shows, was formed and made visible on college campuses and in churches, neighborhoods, movements for change, youth groups, protests, the Spanish-language press, and business districts. Using diverse archival sources, Summers Sandoval gives readers a panoramic perspective on the transformation of a multinational, multigenerational population into a visible, cohesive, and diverse community that today is a major force for social and political activism and cultural production in California and beyond.

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
Описание: The Oxford Encyclopedia of Latinos and Latinas in Contemporary Politics, Law, and Social Movements contains over 450 topical entries written by key academics, intellectuals, and scholars, and provides a comprehensive source of information on the diverse historical and contemporary experiences of Latinos and Latinas in the United States.
It is well known that Latinos in the United States bear a disproportionate burden of low educational attainment, high residential segregation, and low visibility in the national political landscape. In Latinos in American Society, Ruth Enid Zambrana brings together the latest research on Latinos in the United States to demonstrate how national origin, age, gender, socioeconomic status, and education affect the well-being of families and individuals. By mapping out how these factors result in economic, social, and political disadvantage, Zambrana challenges the widespread negative perceptions of Latinos in America and the single story of Latinos in the United States as a monolithic group.
Synthesizing an increasingly substantial body of social science research—much of it emerging from the interdisciplinary fields of Chicano studies, U.S. Latino studies, critical race studies, and family studies—the author adopts an intersectional "social inequality lens" as a means for understanding the broader sociopolitical dynamics of the Latino family, considering ethnic subgroup diversity, community context, institutional practices, and their intersections with family processes and well-being. Zambrana, a leading expert on Latino populations in America, demonstrates the value of this approach for capturing the contemporary complexity of and transitions within diverse U.S. Latino families and communities. This book offers the most up-to-date portrait we have of Latinos in America today.
