With a look at voting, immigration, political engagement, and the critical public policies that constitute a Latino agenda, Garcia and Sanchez provide substantive insight on Latino pan-ethnic identity, growing policy issues, political participation, and the impact of changing Latino sub-groups.This engaging text features: · Discussion questions encourage students to critically engage with key concepts and themes· Links to suggested readings get students engaged in other sources· Accessible figures throughout the text engage visual learners· A glossary of key terms is an effective study aid
