Summary: Hispanic Nation: Looking outside the box..............
Comment: I recently read Mr. Fox's book and found it to be thought provoking and well researched. He holds degrees in sociology and has contributed an important book on the study of Hispanics in the United States.
It is an important contribution to the social-economic-political history and evolution of Hispanics in the United States. The book is well presented and I would highly recommend this book to readers interested in Hispanic studies.

Summary: Great for non-Latinos.......
Comment: The author is a white American Hispanicist and the father of two Anglo-Latino sons. Fox says a lot of great things here. This book was really informative for me. However, I am not Latino. If I were, I think I might be bored to tears by this book. For example, Fox discusses the type of Spanish that is spoken on the Spanish stations in the US. As a non-viewer, I didn't know those things and found his analysis interesting. But if I were an avid Spanish-language TV viewer, he would just be preaching to the crowd. Books that are deeper and will keep more Latino readers interested are Fusco's "English is Broken Here" and Gonzalez's "Muy Macho."

Summary: The Color of our Future seems to be brown...
Comment: I found this book to be very informative, with a lot of perceptive insights as to what it meant, what it now means, and what it will mean to be Hispanic American in the US. The dichotomy of race in the US is about to shift drastically with the growing Latino/Hispanic population. However few Hispanics think of themselves as such. We tend to think of ourselves in terms of nationality. Once, we go beyond individual nationalities and unite as one voice, we can then truly impact on the politics in this nation and change the "Face of this Country"! Bravo
