In The Latino Threat, Leo R. Chavez critically investigates the media stories about and recent experiences of immigrants to show how prejudices and stereotypes have been used to malign an entire immigrant population -- and to define what it means to be an American. Pundits -- and the media at large -- nurture and perpetuate the notion that Latinos, particularly Mexicans, are an invading force bent on reconquering land once considered their own. Through a perceived refusal to learn English and an "out of control" birthrate, many say that Latinos are destroying the American way of life. But Chavez questions these assumptions and offers facts to counter the myth that Latinos are a threat to the security and prosperity of our nation. His breakdown of the "Latino threat" contests this myth's basic tenets, challenging such well-known authors as Samuel Huntington, Pat Buchanan, and Peter Brimelow. Chavez concludes that citizenship is not just about legal definitions, but about participation in society. Deeply resonant in today's atmosphere of exclusion, Chavez's insights offer an alternative and optimistic view of the vitality and future of our country."--Publisher description. 650 0 $a Hispanic Americans $x Press coverage $z United States. 650 0 $a Mexican Americans $x Press coverage $z United States. 650 0 $a Immigrants $x Civil rights $z United States. 650 0 $a Citizenship $z United States. 650 0 $a Emigration and immigration law $z United States. 650 0 $a Prejudices in the press $z United States. 650 7 $a Citizenship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00861909 650 7 $a Emigration and immigration law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908736 650 7 $a Hispanic Americans $x Press coverage. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00957588 650 7 $a Immigrants $x Civil rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967717 650 7 $a Prejudices in the press. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01742685 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191122012742.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=660583C2462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
