Summary:

Twelve years after it was first published, "The Future is Mestizo" is now updated and revised with a new foreword, introduction, and epilogue. This book speaks to the largest demographic change in twentieth-century United States history - the Latinization of music, religion, and culture.

"Like the Chinese dicho, we are blessed to be living in interesting times, on the border of the new mestizaje. As one member of this exciting movimento nudging and being nudged into the future, I am delighted to have discovered this book. I have seen the new millennium and the future is us." -- Sandra Cisneros.
