The presumed alliance

the unspoken conflict between Latinos and Blacks and what it means for America

Edición de la obra The presumed alliance

Examines the historical context as well as the contemporary manifestations of the conflicts between Latinos and African Americans, using case studies to illustrate just how contentious the two groups have been toward each other, and what issues are at the root of such discord. Discusses language barriers, competition over affirmative action, and the overlooked contributions of Hispanics during the American Civil Rights movement. [book cover].
