About this ebook
Media track record: Interviews on Brian Lehrer for updated Manifest Destinies
Hot topic: Latinx identity in general (often in the context of immigration discourse) and anti-Latinx racism in particular, is a topic that is hotter than ever, and will interest readers of the bestselling, groundbreaking Harvest of Empire: A History of Latinos in America by Juan Gonzalez
Platform: In 2011, author was recognized by Hispanic Business magazine as one of the nation's "Most Influential 100 Latinos"
Credentials: Author was co-founder of UCLA Law School's Critical Race Studies Program, which is recognized as the nation's leading institution in critical race theory
Editor's Note
Necessary context…
Scholar Laura Gómez’s deeply researched survey of Latinx history gives readers critical context to better understand race in America today. “Inventing Latinos” promises to elucidate “the fascinating race-making, unmaking, and re-making of Latino identity that has spanned centuries.” An extremely timely read for this moment of national reckoning with racial injustice and the controversy surrounding the 2020 census.
