Compare Asian and Latino Immigrants in a Restructuring Economy by Marta López-garza, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Experiencing both the enormous benefits and the serious detriments of globalization and economic restructuring, Southern California serves as a magnet for immigrants from many parts of the world. This volume advances an emerging body of work that centers this region's future on the links between the two fastest-growing racial groups in California, Asians and Latinos, and the economic and social mainstream of this important sector of the global economy. The contributors to the anthology-scholars and community leaders with social science, urban planning, and legal backgrounds-provide a multi-faceted analysis of gender, class, and race relations. They also examine various forms of immigrant economic participation, from low-wage workers to entrepreneurs and capital investors. Asian and Latino Immigrants in a Restructuring Economy documents the entrenchment of various immigrant communities in the socio-political and economic fabric of United States society and these communities' role in transforming the Los Angeles region. | Asian and Latino Immigrants in a Restructuring Economy by Marta López-garza, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
