Everyday Law for Latino/as
Paradigm Publishers, June 2008, Pages: 264
Now the most populous minority group in the United States, Latino/as increasingly need guidance on the everyday issues that affect their economic livelihood, their freedom, and their equal rights to dignity and opportunity. This comprehensive guide is organized around the three flashpoints that contribute to the unique legal treatment of Latino/as—immigration status, language regulation, and racial/ethnic discrimination. These points are examined in the venues of everyday life for Latino/as—from discrimination in housing to discrimination and language regulation in the workplace, to the lack of protection for immigrant labor, to classrooms where the bilingual education debate rages, to the voting booth and the criminal justice system where Latino/as confront racial profiling and language barriers.
