Making Invisible Latino Adolescents Visible: A Critical Approach for Building Upon Latino Diversity

This book offers an important overview of Latino youth in the United States, a diverse group which has too often remained invisible. The authors included in this volume explore a variety of economic and social issues confronting Latino adolescents ranging from Latino diversity and/or unity to sexuality and family values. In suggesting ways to effectively respond to these issues, they begin to deconstruct negative images of Latino youth and to reconstruct images of what is positive and can contribute to the healthy development of these adolescents today.
