Description: Amazon.comThe final and remarkable book of best-selling author Caroline Knapp underlines her gift of leveraging her life experiences into provocative lessons.

In this thorough multidisciplinary study, the authors explore both sides of this ethnic divide and provide the first volume to focus comprehensively on Latinos in the region by linking demographic and qualitative analysis to describe what brings Latinos to the area and how they are being accommodated in their new communities.
