The Trouble with Unity

I was a little surprised but enormously pleased to find a review of the book in the latest issue of Contemporary Sociology: A Journal of Reviews, by anthropologist Howard Campbell of the University of Texas at El Paso. Professor Campbell concludes: "Ultimately, The Trouble with Unity . . . is primarily a philosophical probing into how Latinos have been conceived as a cultural and political entity, and how they may be reimagined in the future. To that end this book will be required reading in courses, especially at the graduate level, in social theory, anthropology, feminism, Latino Studies, and political science. It will also be a vital stimulus for debate among scholars who work in these areas and their intersections. Hopefully Latino and non-Latino politicians and activists will take notice as well."
