In the timely and thoroughgoing <em>Latino Lives in America<\/em><em>, <\/em>six prominent Latino scholars explore the profound implications of Latinos\u2019 population growth and geographic dispersion for American politics and society, tracking key changes and continuities in Latinos&#8217; attitudes, behavior, and social experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Utilizing a unique set of \u201cnarratives\u201d from focus group interviews, supplemented with quantitative findings from the 2006 Latino National Survey, the authors provide a snapshot of Latino life in America. The Latinos interviewed provide their thoughts regarding their sense of belonging and group identification, assimilation and transnationalism, housing, education, civic engagement, and perceptions of discrimination, as well as their experiences in new destinations, where they are trying to realize the \u201cAmericano\u201d dream.<\/p>\n<p><em>Latino Lives in America<\/em> uses these conversations and the survey data to offer both a micro and macro look at how Latinos are transforming various aspects of American politics, culture, and life and how their experiences in the United States are changing them and their families. \u00a9 1998-2001 Amazon.com, Inc. und Tochtergesellschaften<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rcm.amazon.com\/e\/cm?lt1=_blank&amp;bc1=000000&amp;IS2=1&amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;fc1=000000&amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;t=interassocofi-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=8&amp;l=as1&amp;m=amazon&amp;f=ifr&amp;md=10FE9736YVPPT7A0FBG2&amp;asins=1439900493\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Buy at Amazon.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/rcm-de.amazon.de\/e\/cm?lt1=_blank&amp;bc1=000000&amp;IS2=1&amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;fc1=000000&amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;t=interassocofi-21&amp;o=3&amp;p=8&amp;l=as1&amp;m=amazon&amp;f=ifr&amp;md=1M6ABJKN5YT3337HVA02&amp;asins=1439900493\" target=\"_blank\">Buy at Amazon.de<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fraga, Luis, John A.
