Synopsis
Political issues and social problems such as immigration, prison, bilingual education, employment, political jockeying, changing ethnic dynamics, and racial stereotypes that both divide and unite blacks and Latinos are examined in this topical analysis. This cutting-edge argument looks at how both minority groups frame and interpret these issues through the prism of their experience. It blends the personal and the analytical and ultimately serves as a guide to navigate race and ethnic relations through 21st-century America., Political issues and social problems such as immigration, prison, bilingual education, employment, political jockeying, changing ethnic dynamics, and racial stereotypes that both divide and unite blacks and Latinos are examined in this topical analysis. This cutting-edge argument looks at how both minority groups frame and interpret these issues through the prism of their experience. It blends the personal and the analytical and ultimately serves as a guide to navigate race and ethnic relations through 21st-century America., Stereotypes Drive Black and Latino Conflicts. Following a well-publicized talk and photo-op session with Jesse Jackson in May 2005 then-president of Mexico Vicente Fox apologized for his quip that Mexicans will work jobs that blacks won't. However, the issue and the flap didn't quite blow over. The Congressional Hispanic Caucus and the top Mexican-American legal and civil rights groups-the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, the National Council of La Raza, and the League of United Latin American Citizens-denounced Fox's remarks. They instantly understood the severe harm that the remark could do to the fragile relations between blacks and Latinos. Warped Perceptions in Black and Brown. Few immigrants say it publicly, but privately some believe that blacks have stagnated because of apathy, laziness, low self-esteem and poor discipline. Even Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, in his seminal address at the Million Man March in October 1995, pointed a glowing finger at Mexicans as an example of immigrants who are moving forward in America, even if they came here illegally. He simply echoed the view of many immigrants who demand to know why blacks haven't done the same. Immigration Wars Make Strange Bedfellows. The Minutemen had almost no black support before the massive immigration marches in March 2006. They were denounced by mainstream civil rights organizations and black elected officials. But the escalating immigration fight changed some of that. Minutemen leaders sensed a window of opportunity in the growing numbers of blacks who expressed unease and rage over the huge numbers of Latinos who were marching in the streets to demand amnesty and virtually-open borders. The New Civil Rights Movement? The 1960s civil rights movement was a frantic search by blacks to force America to live up to its promise of justice and equality, and that's the dream of many in the immigration rights movement as well. But comparison to the civil right rights movement has pricked a sore nerve among many blacks. That was plainly evident during the massive march of tens of thousands in Los Angeles and other cities for immigrant rights in March 2006. The old mainstream civil rights groups, at least initially, were Virtually mute on immigration and the marches. Book jacket., Problems such as immigration, prison, bilingual education, employment, political jockeying, changing ethnic dynamics, and racial stereotypes that divide and unite blacks and Latinos are examined in this topical analysis.
