Two leading scholars in the field of philosophy, Jorge J. E. Gracia and Pablo De Greiff, have assembled a multidisciplinary collection of essays that tackle issues of identity, ethnicity, race, and rights in relation to the largest minority group in the United States. Hispanics/Latinos in the United States originated with essays presented at the Samuel P. Capen Symposium in Philosophy at the State University of New York, Buffalo, in October 1998. That a majority of contributors disagree on a range of issues from the group label (reflected in the book's title) to affirmative action programs to the relevance of history for understanding the Latino/a experience makes this volume all the more refreshing. |
