Latinos have long influenced everything from electoral politics to popular culture‚ yet many people instinctively regard them as recent immigrants rather than a longstanding racial group. In Inventing Latinos‚ Laura Gomez illuminates the fascinating race-making‚ unmaking‚ and remaking of Latino identity that has spanned centuries‚ leaving a permanent imprint on how race operates in the United States today.
Pulling back the lens as the country approaches an unprecedented demographic shift (Latinos will comprise a third of the American population in a matter of decades)‚ Gomez also reveals the nefarious roles the United States has played in Latin America - from military interventions and economic exploitation to political interference - that‚ taken together‚ have destabilized national economies to send migrants northward over the course of more than a century. It's no coincidence that the vast majority of Latinos migrate from the places most impacted by this nation's dirty deeds‚ leading Gomez to a bold call for reparations.
In this audacious effort to reframe the often-confused and misrepresented discourse over the Latinx generation‚ Gomez provides essential context for today's most pressing political and public debates, giving all of us a brilliant framework to engage cultural controversies‚ elections‚ current events‚ and more.

There’s so much discussed here about the Latinx fight in the Civil Rights Movement that I never knew. They don’t teach this to us in school. And so much of that history is necessary knowledge for moving forward more inclusively and righteously than we did in the past!
A MUST READ for those of Latinx/e descent/community

It provides interesting information to add to one’s study and understanding, but is not a comprehensive work.
The narrator mispronounced several words from the Spanish language and it became a source of irritation. When reading a work that addresses many Spanish speaking people and their socio-political impact in the US, it is important that the words from that language are pronounced properly.
This is the fault of the producer, the publisher, the director, as much as it is the narrator. As Latinos, we are a market and political force. Do better.
