Waiting to Celebrate |
85-JUL ABA Journal 68 (July, 1999) |
The incident was just a minor brush with the law nearly 30 years ago, but it sticks in the mind of Richard Ramos, an engineer who lives in Los Angeles. Ramos was 14 and had just attended his first Lakers basketball game with five friends. While waiting for their parents to pick them up after the game, the boys began horsing around, kicking bottles... |

African-americans, Latinos, and the Construction of Race: Toward an Epistemic Coalition |
19 Chicano-Latino Law Review 213 (Spring 1998) |
Latinos will soon become the largest minority group in the United States. African-Americans may therefore be about to give up political clout to Latinos. This prospect has generated tension between African-Americans and Latinos. Given this background, it is important for Critical Race Theory and Latino Critical Theory to consider the matter of the... |

Constructing Latina/o Identities |
19 Chicano-Latino Law Review 187 (Spring 1998) |
This section draws together seven selections that focus on issues of identity and group membership as related to the LatCrit enterprise. Because LatCrit is a fledging intellectual project, they are important in helping demarcate the boundaries of this field, which seeks to center Latinos in studies of the law's impact and to draw linkages to... |

Constructing Latinoness: Ruminations on Reading Los Confundidos |
19 Chicano-Latino Law Review 177 (Spring 1998) |
Latino. What does the term mean? To whom does it apply? And under what circumstances? I once tried to communicate its meaning to my six year old. We were in the car driving somewhere when he announced that Angel, one of his best buddies, was white. His declaration startled me the way all his prior articulated observations about race had... |

Constructing Our Selves/our Families: Comments on Latcrit Theory |
19 Chicano-Latino Law Review 297 (Spring 1998) |
Our focus on this panel is how we construct ourselves. One ostensible way to construct ourselves is to identify the different social roles we assume--as teacher, lawyer, mother, Asian-American. Yet these roles only begin to capture our identities; how we personally interpret and perceive these roles informs us further. In our role as teachers, for... |

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlaws discrimination in employment based on, among other things, national origin. The adoption by employers of policies requiring employees to speak only English in the workplace would appear to constitute national origin discrimination against bilingual Latinos, whose Spanish-speaking ability is central... |

Immigration and Latino Identity |
19 Chicano-Latino Law Review 197 (Spring 1998) |
The racial identity of people of color, including Latinas and Latinos, must be viewed from at least two vantage-points. First, we must consider identity formation at the individual level, namely how a person engages in the difficult process of constructing his or her personal identity. Second, as critical Latino theory has begun to do for Latinos,... |

Latino and Latina Critical Theory: an Annotated Bibliography |

Latino/a critical scholarship, though largely ignored, has been around for a long time.

Latinos and California's Future: Too Few at the School's Door |
10 La Raza Law Journal 631 (Fall, 1998) |
Latinos have a long history in California. California was settled by Spain in 1769 and reorganized by Mexico in the 1820s. Following the Alvarado Revolution of 1836, California was essentially independent until it became a U.S. military territory after the Treaty of Guadalupe Hildago in 1848. Thus, Latinos were present in what is now California... |

To really matter, Latinos must be recognized. And to some degree, we must be understood too, yes, in all our complexity, and yet so as to be seen as a force sufficiently coherent to exercise clout. That wouldn't seem to be asking too much, either of ourselves or of others. After all, basic recognition, some understanding, and occasional influence... |

Persons of Hispanic origin represent one of the fastest growing working groups in the United States.
