Title: Latino social movements
Description: By 2009, Latinos will become the nation's largest racial ethnic group. More important than sheer numbers is the fact that Latino men and women represent a significant and growing part of the U.S. working class.

Focusing on class politics, community development, patriarchy, and capital, the contributors trace these concerns within the context of popular attempts to transform the social conditions of Latino life. In doing so, this collection of original essays sets forth an essential and much delayed mapping of Latino politics in "postindustrial" capitalism.
