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.

Organization of the Guide

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.

Venues of Everyday Life

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 and 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.
