Torres\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the United States, the number of Latinos struggling in pursuit of the American Dream has never been greater. Millions work towards this ideal each year, only to find themselves trapped in a cycle of debt and labor. The need for a vivid, empirically grounded study on Latino politics, culture, and social issues is more essential now than ever before--\u003ci\u003eThe Latino Question\u003c\/i\u003e fulfills this gap, offering a cutting-edge overview and analysis of the transformative nature of Latino politics in the United States. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In a radical alternative to the dominant orthodoxy in Latino political studies, Rodolfo D. Torres, Armando Ibarra, and Alfredo Carlos emphasize the importance of political economy for understanding Latino politics, culture, and social issues. Written in an accessible style, the authors draw from extensive original research and several critical traditions--including Karl Marx, Antonio Gramsci, and Michel Foucault--to make crucial links between socio-economic and culture-based approaches for understanding the politics of race and ethnicity in capitalist society. Notably, they present front-line evidence of how some Mexican communities across America are not only resisting, but also reinventing and transforming the predominant economic ideas. \u003ci\u003eThe Latino Question\u003c\/i\u003e will be essential for anyone hoping to understand the changes in Latino communities in America today. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRodolfo D.
