BOOK REVIEW | Latinos: Remaking America

Patricia Landolt, Professor of Sociology at the University of Toronto, reviews Latinos: Remaking America by M. M. Suárez-Orozco and M. M. Páez. This book questions what academics know and need to know about the Latino population in the United States. It is broken down into several sections such as histories, migrations, communities, health, families, languages, education, and politics. The text recognizes the wide diversity among Latinos, rather than merely grouping them together without consideration. The book seeks to create a space for Latino studies as an integrated part of American studies.
