Latinos in the Midwest Over the past twenty years, the Latino population in the Midwest has
grown rapidly, both in urban and rural areas. As elsewhere in the
country, shifting demographics in the region have given rise to
controversy and mixed reception. Where some communities have greeted
Latinos openly, others have been more guarded. Despite their
increasing presence, Latinos remain the most marginalized major
population group in the country. In coming years, the projected
growth of this population will require greater attention from
policymakers concerned with helping to incorporate them into the
nation’s core institutions. This eye-opening collection of essays
examines the many ways in which an increase in the Latino population
has impacted the Midwest — culturally, economically, educationally,
and politically. Drawing on studies, personal histories, legal
rulings, and other sources, this book takes an interdisciplinary
approach to an increasingly important topic in American society and
offers a glimpse into the nation’s demographic future. Reviews "This collection of essays looks at the many ways in which an increase in Latino population has affected the Midwest....Not for the casual reader of history...provides a close look at one of the most marginalized major population groups in the country...." - Historical Society of Michigan Chronicle -
