Reviews

With Immigration and the Border: Politics and Policy in the New Latino Century, editors David L. Leal and Jose E. Limon have gathered an impressive group of contributors from diverse fields to provide an understanding of immigration dynamics in contemporary American political and civic life. Written in an accessible style, this fine volume delivers extensive coverage of political and border issues, making it valuable for students in many Latino studies courses. -Jorge Chapa, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign This volume makes an original contribution by presenting new research in the field of Latino studies. The varied perspectives of the contributors make the book appealing to scholars and students in political science, sociology, anthropology, education, Latino studies, and border studies. Immigration and the Border: Politics and Policy in the New Latino Century will also appeal to Latino organizations and policy advocates. -Raquel Marquez, University of Texas at San Antonio Immigration and the Border is an invaluable repository of information, and a welcome contribution to public and college library shelves. -The Midwest Book Review Other than its interdisciplinary approach, the collection's helpfulness results from its inclusion of youth (a sector of the Latino population that is exploding but often not understood or studied), the fact that in several essays the researchers point to policies that are more productive, and an approach that does not ignore those left behind in the sending countries. -Theological Studies
