- Summary:
- Latinos in the West focuses on the struggle by Latin Americans to open and maintain Chicano/a studies programs in institutions of higher education in California. It raises critical questions about multicultural democracy by exploring topics such as immigration, affirmative action, and civil rights. Carlos Mora explains the links between this social movement and the needs of the Chicano/a people, the changes taking place in higher education, and the trends in the overall ethnic-nationalist movements in the Unites States where Latinos have been playing an increasingly leading role.
