The Latino/A Condition de Richard Delgado

The Latino/A Condition

Autor Richard Delgado
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 dec 2010

Subliniem apariția celei de-a doua ediții revizuite a volumului The Latino/A Condition, o lucrare fundamentală care a fost actualizată substanțial pentru a ține pasul cu dinamica demografică și academică de la prima publicare din 1998. Notăm cu interes cum editorii au integrat voci noi și clasice pentru a răspunde unor întrebări identitare complexe, precum distincțiile dintre termenii „Latino”, „Hispanic” și „Chicano”, într-un context în care populația de origine latino-americană din Statele Unite a cunoscut o creștere fără precedent.

Această ediție extinde cadrul de analiză dincolo de simpla demografie, explorând intersecția dintre legislație, sociologie și istorie. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care autorii investighează dacă familia latino reprezintă o sursă de sprijin sau de opresiune, precum și rolul jucat de catolicism în modelarea comunității. Abordarea este una riguros academică, dar accesibilă, oferind o perspectivă critică asupra modului în care legea contribuie la construcția rasială a acestui grup.

Acoperă aceeași arie tematică precum volumul Latino Issues de Rogelio Sáenz, dar cu o abordare mult mai profund ancorată în teoria juridică și în studiile culturale interdisciplinare. În timp ce alte lucrări se concentrează pe date statistice, The Latino/A Condition prioritizează discursul teoretic și analizele de profunzime despre identitate. În contextul operei lui Richard Delgado, această lucrare completează temele explorate în Critical Race Theory (Third Edition), aplicând conceptele de justiție socială și critică rasială specific experienței latino-americane, așa cum a făcut-o și în lucrarea sa anterioară, Must We Defend Nazis?, referitoare la limitele libertății de exprimare.

Despre autor

Richard Delgado este profesor de drept la Seattle University și unul dintre fondatorii teoriei critice a rasei (Critical Race Theory). Colaborarea sa de lungă durată cu Jean Stefancic a produs lucrări de referință în domeniul justiției sociale și al dreptului civil. Expertiza sa se concentrează pe modul în care sistemele juridice interacționează cu identitatea rasială și etnică.

Descriere scurtă

In the last forty-five years, immigration reform has brought tens of millions of new immigrants from Latin American countries to the United States. Since critical race theory pioneers Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic compiled the first edition of The Latino/a Condition in 1998, the population has continued to grow exponentially, while scholarship on Latinos/as has grown just as quickly. The second edition of The Latino/a Condition brings together a wide range of new and classic Latino and Latina voices from the fields of law, sociology, history, media studies, and politics to address questions such as: Who exactly is a Latino? Who is Hispanic? Who is Chicano?
How did Spanish-speaking people come to live in the United States?
Is the Latino family a source of strength or oppression? What about Catholicism?
Should the United States try to control Latino immigration, and is this even possible?
What are the most common media stereotypes of Latino people?
Are Latinos white? What role does law play in the racial construction of the group?
Collecting a wealth of perspectives on these and other issues central to the Latino/a experience, Delgado and Stefancic offer a broad portrait of Latino/a life in the United States at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
