It focuses on the diversity of the largest ethnic group in the United States. This guide has sections on Hispanic and Latino identity, geography, language, religion, social norms, politics, immigration and deportation, education, work, money, families, culture, health and food. It explains terms such as Chicano, Tejano and Texano, Boricua and deals with deportation and immigration. The guide is intended for people in business, schools, places of worship, government, medicine, law enforcement, human resources and journalism-anywhere it is important to know more about communities. We hope this guide works for individuals who just have questions about the people around them. We began by asking Hispanics and Latinos about myths, misconceptions and biases that they run into and wish others knew more about.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuestions include: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat are the definitions of Hispanic and Latino?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow did Hispanic and Latino become official terms?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAre there U.S. regional or state preferences for Hispanic or Latino?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSo people can be one and not the other?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat does \"Latina\" mean?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat do \"Chicano\" and \"Chicana\" mean?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat is the definition of Chican@?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat does Tejano mean?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat does Boricua mean?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat race are Latinos and Hispanics?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow many Hispanic people live in the United States?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat are their places of origin?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhich states have the largest Hispanic populations?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIs Puerto Rico a country, colony or commonwealth?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhy is Puerto Rico a territory and not a state or a country?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDo people living in Puerto Rico vote in U.S. elections?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDo Puerto Ricans in Puerto Rico pay U.S. taxes?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat is Hispaniola?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow prevalent is bilingualism?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat is Spanglish?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat is the English-only movement?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAre Hispanics more religious than other Americans?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAre U.S. Hispanics mostly Catholic?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIs Pope Francis the first Latin American pope?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAre Latinos generally more emotional or expressive than other Americans?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAre Latinos traditionally modest about their accomplishments?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow do Hispanics align politically?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat are top political concerns for Hispanics today?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow much weight does the Hispanic vote carry in U.S elections?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat is turnout like among Hispanics voters?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAre Hispanics represented proportionately in government?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWho are some nationally prominent Hispanic politicians?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat draws Latinos to the United States?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat are the \"waves\" of Latino immigration to the United States?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAre most Latinos in the United States today immigrants?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDo most Latino immigrants come to the United States legally?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat is the \"DREAM Act?\"\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat is DACA?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat is the \"Drop the I-Word\" campaign?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat is a green card?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat are the difference between permanent residency and citizenship?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat are remittances?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAre Latinos profiled?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat is the average educational level of Hispanics?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDo Hispanics come to the United States for schooling?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhich colleges or universities are more welcoming to Hispanics?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 68\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.16 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 30, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42729976660031,"sku":"9781939880444","price":27.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/9fd03645cb16ddb71c7e1adf3650c7e4.webp?v=1765124342","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/100-questions-and-answers-about-hispanics-and-latinos-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
