Why do so many African-Americans oppose Latino immigration? Do illegal immigrants take jobs from African-Americans? Is the immigration rights movement the new Civil Rights Movement? Can African-Americans and Latinos fight together for jobs, quality education and political empowerment? Or are they destined to be hostile competitors? Author and political analyst Earl Ofari Hutchinson’s answers these burning questions in his new book, The Latino Challenge to Black America: Towards a Conversation Between African-Americans and Hispanics.
Hutchinson takes a laser look at the range of hot button issues and problems that conflict and unite blacks and Latinos. It looks at how both groups see and interpret those issues and problems through the prism of their experiences. It’s a highly readable, fast paced, cutting edge book that blends the personal and the analytical, and that ultimately can serve as a guide for elected officials, business leaders, civil rights groups, and indeed all Americans to understand and to navigate race and ethnic relations through 21st Century America.

“The murder of Cheryl Green, a 14-year-old black girl, and the wounding of two other young blacks in one day of by Latino gang members in Los Angeles violence in December 2006 drew gasps of disbelief that in America in 2006 in a big, cosmopolitan city with a Latino mayor, and that routinely back-patted itself for its ethnic diversity, there was an entire area that blacks were banned from on pain of injury or death at the hands of other non-whites. “
