Opis

This edited collection examines joint efforts by Latinos and African-Americans to confront problems faced by populations of both groups in urban settings, in particular, socioeconomic disadvantage and concentration in inner citites. The essays address two major issues: experiences and bases for collaboration and contention between the two groups; and the impact of urban policies and initiatives of recent decades on Blacks and Lations in central cities.
