Latinas/OS in New Jersey Histories, Communities, and Cultures

"A compilation of deeply researched writings that explore a wide range of topics about New Jersey's Latinos and Latinas, including their migration from the cities to the suburbs and the experience of undocumented communities who eventually found acceptance in the state." (The Record/NorthJersey.com) "An overdue, comprehensive book on New Jersey's Latinos. Covering ethnicities, subcultures, cities, and a range of current issues, the volume analyses this diverse group-one-fifth of the state's population-and its challenges, hopes, and contributions. Educators, students, and policy makers will benefit from this rich collection of histories and analyses. The future of the Garden State can be gleaned from the accounts in this wonderful volume." - Andrés Torres (editor of Latinos in New England) "The editors not only provide up-to-date research on the demographic profile and trends among Latinos in New Jersey but dare to venture further into the realms of the social sciences, history, education, and art and culture and to put them each in conversation with one another. No other source has ever engaged with Latinos in the Garden State as deeply or profoundly." - Ramona Hernández (author of The Mobility of Workers under Advanced Capitalism: Dominican Migration to the United State)
