Book Reviews of Latino Metropolis (Globalization and Community, V. 7)

Book Review: a stunning debut
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a pathbreaking work in both urban theory and Chicano studies. The homeboy authors - who deftly combine theoretical acumen with journalist ingenuity - provide exciting new perspectives on the supernova of Latino Los Angeles. Unlike other contributors to the debate on globalization and postmodernity, moreover, they write with real style and verve. I can't wait for volume two.
