Full textAbstract:
Latinos make up only 5.4 percent of the overall newsroom workforce in the United States. Over the last 15 years, US media outlets have disbanded urban affairs or minority affairs beats and teams altogether. Various studies suggest Latino and African American communities continue to be under-covered by US media outlets, further marginalizing their narratives in the US experience. And for years, US media outlets have struggled on the terms used to describe people of Spanish-speaking heritage: Hispanic, Latino, Mexican American, etc. Now, because of the political empowerment LGBT residents, there is a movement to describe Latinos using the term “LatinX” — a gender-neutral alternative to Latino and Latina. The term was an attempt to incorporate individuals who didn’t identify with a gender or who were transgender. As the US media struggles to accurately portray Latinos, the term “Latinx” faces an uphill battle for mainstream media use amid pressures for basic coverage. The author argues that “Latinx” in stories neutralized gender for the sake of inclusion and could result in ignoring the oppression around gender identity and sexuality.

AbstractDespite shared colonization histories between the United States and Latin America, research examining racial disparities in health in the United States has often neglected Latinos. Additionally, descendants from Latin America residing in the United States are often categorized under the pan-ethnic label of Hispanic or Latino. This categorization obscures the group's heterogeneity, which is illuminated by research showing consistent differences in health for the three largest segments of the Latino population—Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and Cubans. We examine whether the patterns of infant mortality associated with race in the non-Latino population also follow for Latinos. We also examine whether we can attribute patterns of infant mortality between the three largest Latino sub-groups to a process we term segmented racialization. We find that race operates for Latinos the same way it does for the non-Latino population and that there seems to be some evidence to support our segmented racialization hypothesis. The results point to the need to abandon the practices of combining Latino sub-groups as well as ignoring the racial diversity within the Latino population in health research.

This study explored the reasons Latin@s join Latino fraternities and Latina sororities at a university in the southwestern United States. Via a phenomenological approach, it uncovered the unique placement of Latino Greek-letter organizations and their role in the success of Latin@ students by embodying the intersectionality of academics, social interaction, accountability, community service, cultural congruency, and brotherhood/sisterhood. Findings highlight the concepts of social isolation, navigation, sense of belonging, Latino culture, and “Not Greek. Latin@ Greek.”

AbstractThis study investigates the figuration of “Spanish” as a sociocultural discourse within the context of a middle school in North Carolina, where immigration from Latin America is new, yet quickly accelerating. The school-based discourse is analyzed in terms of everyday ways of talking among students, as well as institutional ideologies and practices, which mediate national discourses about US Latinos and reinforce tropes circulated by students. Everyday ways of talking among non-Latino students suggest that Latinos—both immigrants and US born—are Spanish monolinguals who “choose” to be segregated from the English speakers. The use of Spanish by Latinos is constructed by non-Latinos as secretive and dangerous, linking local tropes about Spanish to national discourses. Consistent informal pressure against Spanish at school links to broader pressures against Spanish in the community and beyond. The discourse problematizes Latino identity formations and limits the types of identities available to Latino students. (Discursive production, Spanish, US Latinos, Latino threat narrative)*

Purpose Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations confer sensitivity to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors in patients with advanced non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). There are limited and conflicting reports on the frequency of EGFR mutations in Latinos. Patients and Methods Samples from 642 patients with NSCLC from seven institutions in the United States and Latin America were assessed for EGFR mutations (exons 18 to 21) at Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments-certified central laboratories. Results EGFR mutation analysis was successfully performed in 480 (75%) of 642 patients; 90 (19%) were Latinos, 318 (66%) were non-Latino whites, 35 (7%) were non-Latino Asians, 30 (6%) were non-Latino blacks, and seven (2%) were of other races or ethnicities. EGFR mutations were found in 21 (23%) of 90 Latinos with varying frequencies according to the country of origin; Latinos from Peru (37%), followed by the United States (23%), Mexico (18%), Venezuela (10%), and Bolivia (8%). In never-smoker Latinos and Latinos with adenocarcinoma histology, EGFR mutation frequencies were 38% and 30%, respectively. There was a significant difference in the frequency of EGFR mutations among the different racial and ethnic subgroups analyzed (P < .001), with non-Latino Asians having the highest frequency (57%) followed by Latinos (23%), non-Latino whites (19%), and non-Latino blacks (10%). There was no difference between Latinos (23%) and non-Latinos (22%; P = .78) and Latinos and non-Latino whites (P = .37). Patients from Peru had an overall higher frequency of mutations (37%) than all other Latinos (17%), but this difference only exhibited a trend toward significance (P = .058). Conclusion There was no significant difference between the frequency of EGFR mutations in NSCLC in Latinos and non-Latinos.

Full textAbstract:
Deportation has become more commonplace in the United States since the mid-2000s. Latin American noncitizens—encompassing undocumented and documented immigrants—are targeted for deportation. Deportation’s threat also reaches naturalized and US-born citizens of Latino descent who are largely immune to deportation but whose loved ones or communities are deportable. Drawing on 6 y of data from the National Survey of Latinos, this article examines whether and how Latinos’ deportation fears vary by citizenship and legal status and over time. Compared with Latino noncitizens, Latino US citizens report lower average deportation fears. However, a more complex story emerges when examining this divide over time: Deportation fears are high but stable among Latino noncitizens, whereas deportation fears have increased substantially among Latino US citizens. These trends reflect a growing national awareness of—rather than observable changes to—deportation policy and practice since the 2016 US presidential election. The article highlights how deportation or its consequences affects a racial group that the US immigration regime targets disproportionately.

Este ensaio estuda a relação entre a migração latino-americana em direção ao Norte e as mudanças que estão tendo lugar no catolicismo estadunidense. A parte principal do artigo concentra-se na profunda e histórica experiência religiosa que os latinos trazem à Igreja nos Estados Unidos, herança marcadamente diferente da anglo-americana. Ao pano de fundo colonial, entretanto, devem ser acrescentadas as profundas mudanças que aconteceram no catolicismo latino-americano no período posterior ao Concilio Vaticano II. Os latinos têm sido um canal para comunicar a visão dinâmica de Medellín e Aparecida à Igreja católica estadunidense mais focada na conservação que na missão. A seção final trata das contribuições específicas do catolicismo latino à vida da Igreja estadunidense contemporânea através dos métodos pastorais renovados, da opção pelos pobres e da teologia da libertação, assim como no âmbito da oração, do culto e da espiritualidade, a preocupação pela justiça social, a religiosidade popular e a pastoral juvenil – para mencionar apenas algumas poucas. A eleição do Papa Francisco, o primeiro papa latino-americano, destaca a influência emergente do catolicismo latino-americano na cena mundial e não apenas nos Estados Unidos.ABSTRACT: This essay explores the link between Latin American migration northward and changes taking place in U.S. Catholicism. A major part of the article focuses on the deep and historic religious background that Latinos bring to the Church in the United States, a heritage markedly different from that of Anglo America. To the colonial background, however, must be added the profound changes that have taken place in Latin American Catholicism in the period after the Second Vatican Council. Latinos have been a conduit for communicating the dynamic vision of Medellín and Aparecida to a U.S. Catholic Church focused more on maintenance than mission. A final section looks at specific contributions of Latino Catholicism to the U.S. Church’s contemporary life through renewed pastoral methods, the option for the poor, and Liberation Theology as well as in the area of prayer, worship and spirituality, concern for social justice, popular piety, and youth ministry—to name just a few. The election of Pope Francis, the first Latin American pope, highlights the emerging influence of Latin American Catholicism on the world stage and not only in the United States.

Full textAbstract:
A half century of research details how segregating racial groups in separate schools corresponds with disparities in funding and quality teachers and culturally narrow curricula. But we know little about whether young Latino children have entered less or more segregated elementary schools over the past generation. This article details the growing share of Latino children from low-income families populating schools, 1998 to 2010. Latinos became more segregated within districts enrolling at least 10% Latino pupils nationwide, including large urban districts. Exposure of poor students (of any race) to middle-class peers improved nationwide. This appears to stem in part from rising educational attainment of adults in economically integrated communities populated by Latinos. Children of native-born Latina mothers benefit more from economic integration than those of immigrant mothers, who remain isolated in separate schools. We discuss implications for local educators and policy makers and suggest future research to illuminate where and how certain districts have advanced integration.

Las considerables diferencias entre el sistema onomástico latino y el griego ocasionaron, en palabras de Denecker y Swiggers (Denecker, Tim y Pierre Swiggers. 2018. The articulus according to Latin grammarians up to the early Middle Ages: The complex interplay of tradition and innovation in grammatical doctrine. Glotta 94. p. 130), “situaciones de negociación” al momento de trasladar el sistema de una lengua a la otra – por ejemplo, los sufijos – y de ofrecer latinos para ilustrar fenómenos originalmente griegos. Los diferentes grammatici no lidiaron del mismo modo con estas situaciones, y, como resultado, hay una clara diferencia entre la doctrina de los patronímicos de las artes grammaticae “occidentales” y de las “orientales” – i.e., las elaboradas en la parte occidental y oriental del Imperio respectivamente –. A través de un recorrido de la doctrina gramatical de los patronímicos – de Dionisio Tracio a Prisciano –, este artículo analizará cómo los grammatici adaptaron, según su origen, tradiciones y destinatarios, esta categoría a la lengua latina.

Full textAbstract:
The sport marketing field has neglected to study the Latino population despite escalating amounts of consumer research within the marketing literature focusing on this market segment. Therefore, the purpose of our study was to examine the potential predictors of conative loyalty (i.e., purchase intentions) of the Latino fan by testing the Model of Sport Spectator Conative Loyalty (Model B) on a Latino sample. In addition, we wanted to compare the relationships within the model between Latinos and Non-Latinos to study the potential differences between the two market segments. The participants were Latino (n= 127) and Non-Latino (n= 186) attendees of a professional Major League Baseball game in the Southeastern United States. Even though the model results were very similar for both groups, differences do exist between Latinos and Non-Latinos in terms of specific sport consumer behavior relationships (e.g., BIRGing and CORFing on Conative Loyalty).

Full textAbstract:
Latinos in the US live significantly longer than non-Latino whites, but spend more years disabled. Differentials in socioeconomic status account for part, but not all, of the difference in older age disability between Latinos and whites. We hypothesize that a factor often ignored in the literature—the fact that Latinos, on average, have more physically strenuous jobs than non-Latino whites—contributes to the higher Latino risk of functional limitations at older ages. We use longitudinal data from the 1998–2014 Health and Retirement Study (HRS) comprising 17,297 respondents. Compared to US-born whites, Latinos, especially Latino immigrants, report substantially higher levels of physical effort at work. Latino-black differences are much smaller than Latino-white differences. As hypothesized, physical work effort is strongly related to functional limitations. However, differentials in physical work effort for Latinos and whites in their fifties and early sixties are weakly related to Latino-white differentials in FL at later ages.

La représentation de son histoire sociopolitique et culturelle ainsi que la vaillante résistance de certains gouvernements latino-américains contre l’impérialisme étatsunien et britannique ont trouvé un écho favorable au Canada français. Cette représentation, qui propose une sorte d’histoire connectée des peuples latins d’Amérique, a favorisé l’émergence d’un sentiment de solidarité pour les luttes anti-impérialistes latino-américaines bien avant la Révolution tranquille.

Like African Americans, Latinos struggled to navigate Boston’s segregated, inequitable school system during the 1960s and 1970s. Latino children confronted many obstacles including language barriers, inadequate teaching and counseling, dilapidated buildings and overcrowded classrooms, limited curriculums, and severe shortages of materials. They also endured hostility and violence from their peers, dropped out at alarmingly high rates, and were systematically excluded from school for a host of reasons. Despite a rich history of Latino organizing around these issues, Boston’s historical narrative and “busing crisis” framework furthers a black–white binary that renders Latinos invisible. I disrupt this by recovering the role of Latinos in mobilizations for reform in Boston Public Schools. This essay examines the emergence of the Latino educational movement during the 1960s and 1970s, centered on ideas of community control and the right to bilingual education. I draw attention to the experiences of Latino children with ambiguous racial identities, shedding light on complexities that are often overlooked in dominant black–white desegregation narratives. I highlight the agency of ordinary Latino parent activists who worked strategically in and outside the school system, using numerous tactics in the pursuit of educational justice. I focus particularly on the leading role of working-class Latina mothers, who developed their own educational programs outside of school, petitioned the school system for reform, staged public protests, and sought legal appeals. Though interethnic conflicts and divisions emerged, they did not alter the movement’s primary aims, which remained sharply focused on the protection and expansion of bilingual education.

Background/Context Researchers have found that school districts with greater representation of Latinos and African Americans on their school boards tend to also have higher percentages of Latino and African American administrators and teachers. This increased presence of coethnics in the educational bureaucracy was then found to predict more favorable educational outcomes for these students. Purpose We determine if these relationships hold for Latinos in California, which has the largest Latino population in the United States and where Latino students make up just under half of all students enrolled in public schools. Research Design Using an original data set of all California school districts in the 2004–2005 school year, we tested these relationships for Latinos in California using multiple regression. Conclusion Contrary to previous research, we found that Latino representation on California school boards was not greater in systems of single-member district election. We did, however, find that the greater presence of Latinos on school boards did increase the likelihood that Latinos would be hired as administrators, but only in Latino-majority districts. After appropriate controls, districts with more Latino administrators also tended to have more Latino teachers. Last, and again contrary to previous research, we found no systematic impact of having more Latino teachers and administrators on enhancing student outcomes for either all Latino students or for English language learners.

Reading the results of Lavariega-Monforti and Michelson's study of Latinas and Latinos in the profession in the January issue (“Diagnosing the Leaky Pipeline: Continuing Barriers to the Retention of Latinas and Latinos in Political Science”) made for depressing reading. Sadly, their observations are deadly accurate on the experiences of endemic institutional racism that Latino and Latina political scientists face in American academic institutions. This culture of endemic racism was vibrant in graduate school while I was getting my Ph.D. and appears to have changed little since then. For that reason I am very pessimistic that this situation will change in my generation and, frankly, the APSA has been very slow to act on this problem. In my personal experience, in British universities I have been evaluated on my merits, rather than on my ethnic background. I would urge other Latino and Latina political scientists to consider using their skills in the UK and elsewhere.

By a short description of one of the most developed and widespread theoretical responses on the Continent during the last decades –post-colonialism– we understand the issue of knowledge production as interrelated between society and social theory. On the one hand, the analysis of the Latin American case shows a theoretical void in the Continent, and, on the other, the existence of a knowledge regime that is precarious, weak and underdeveloped. This leads us to think again about the subject of Latin American social theory from a new perspective that recognizes the existence of a universal science abandoning the very idea of Latin American social theory and replacing it with the idea of social theory carried out by Latin Americans.

On the one hand, the analysis of the Latin American case shows a theoretical void in the Continent, and, on the other, the existence of a knowledge regime that is precarious, weak and underdeveloped. This leads us to think again about the subject of Latin American social theory from a new perspective that recognizes the existence of a universal science abandoning the very idea of Latin American social theory and replacing it with the idea of social theory carried out by Latin Americans. Keywords: Social theory, post-colonialism, knowledge regime, Latin America, knowledge production. Teoria social e regimem do conhecimento. Uma crítica ao poscolonialismo latino-americano Resumo O presente artigo analisa a relação contemporânea entre as características sociais da América Latina e a produção da teoria social gerada no continente. A partir de uma breve descrição de uma das respostas teóricas mais desenvolvidas e difundidas no continente durante as últimas décadas, o pós-colonialismo, entende-se o problema da produção do conhecimento como uma inter-relação entre a sociedade e a teoria social. A análise do caso latino-americano mostra, por um lado, um vácuo teórico no continente e, por outro, a existencia de um regime de conhecimento precário, fraco e subdesenvolvido. Isso nos leva a repensar o problema da teoria social latino-americana a partir de uma nova perspectiva, que reconheça a existência da ciência universal, abandonando a própria ideia da teoria social latino-americana e substituindo-a pela ideia da teoria social realizada pelos latino-americanos.Palavras-chave: teoria social, pós-colonialismo, regime do conhecimento, América Latina, produção de conhecimento.

It is a national imperative to increase the percentage of Latinas and Latinos who earn doctorate degrees in the social sciences and who enter into faculty positions. For the purposes of this study, I focus on whether Latinas and Latinos earned their doctorates at the nation’s most research-intensive universities because those schools are uniquely equipped to prepare doctoral students for careers in academia. I find that more than 40% of Latinas and Latinos who earned social science doctorates did so at universities with lower research profiles. I also test whether there are relationships between Latinas’ and Latino’s undergraduate institutions (e.g., community colleges and Hispanic Serving Institutions) and doctoral universities (classified by research-intensity). I did not find a relationship between attending community college and the type of university where a Latina or Latino social scientist earned the PhD. However, I found that Latinas and Latinos who earned baccalaureate degrees from Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) had higher relative risk of earning doctorates from less research-intensive universities. This institutional pathway may be beneficial for increasing the number of Latinas and Latinos who earn social science doctorate degrees; however, it may be problematic for preparing future faculty members. I discuss implications for supporting the Latina-Latino pathway to the PhD.

Cette étude analyse le rôle de l’Union des Latins d’Amérique (ULA) durant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale en traitant de la portée et du sens contextuel du discours de la latinité développé lors de ses rencontres. L’américanité québécoise latinisée véhiculée par les représentants de l’Union des Latins avait ceci d’original qu’elle réconciliait la continentalité constitutive de la nation et son héritage français par l’évocation d’une culture latine partagée par les centaines de millions d’hispanophones et de lusophones des Amériques. Les perspectives de l’ULA favorisaient par ailleurs un décloisonnement des relations internationales du Québec. Alors que le conflit mondial isolait le Canada français de l’Europe, limitant ses relations étrangères au continent anglo-protestant le ceinturant, plusieurs Québécois joignirent l’ULA pour se divertir, étudier la culture latino-américaine et se réinventer une géopolitique plus favorable à la survie de la nation canadienne-française. Au-delà des mondanités, les rencontres de l’Union des Latins acquirent une signification particulière au fil de la guerre puisqu’elles constituaient un espace où l’avenir du Canada français pouvait être discuté sans trop risquer la censure. L’association rassembla des nationalistes de l’Université de Montréal, des membres influents de la petite bourgeoisie montréalaise et une partie importante de la classe politique canadienne-française pour promouvoir un rapprochement culturel et politique entre Latins du Nord et du Sud. Des nationalistes radicaux comme les frères O’Leary y rencontraient d’ardents fédéralistes comme T. D. Bouchard pour discuter de transnationalisme latin avec les diplomates latino-américains en poste à Montréal, ce qui finit quand même par provoquer un certain malaise à Ottawa.

Although Latinos have grown substantially as a percent of the American population to now comprise the largest ethnic-racial minority group in the U.S., whether or not this national population growth can translate into direct political influence in presidential elections has always been unclear (DeSipio 1996; Fraga and Ramírez 2003–04). At least since the 1988 election, however, scholars of Latino politics have argued that Latino voters could serve as key swing voters if certain contextual and strategic conditions existed in specific contests (Guerra 1992). Among these are: a competitive election in states where Latinos are a determinative segment of the electorate; strategic mobilization of Latino voters; active engagement in the election by Latino elected officials, related organizational leaders, and Latino campaign strategists; a viable Latino candidate; and issues of specific relevance to Latino voters (Guerra and Fraga 1996).

Purpose: From 2000 to 2050, the Latino population in the United States (U.S.) is expected to grow by 273%. Health outcomes vary widely among Latino subgroups and health disparities more adversely affect rural residents. The commonly used “one-size-fits-all” approach assumes that the U.S. Latino population is homogeneous.
Sample, Method: Rural Latinos in four study states: Arizona (AZ), California (CA), Florida (FL) and Texas (TX) were the focus of this study. This research describes changes in the Latino population in rural counties of the U.S. in two dimensions: 1) change in population by number, and 2) change in population by country of origin using data from 2000-2017.
Findings: The following themes emerged: 1) the overall Latino population grew in each state; 2) rural Latino populations in each state also increased but at a higher rate; 3) there is a variety of diversity in the countries of origin of rural Latinos based in each state; and 4) a considerable proportion of Latinos living in rural areas are of unknown Latino origins.
Conclusions: As the largest racial or ethnic minority in rural populations and as the second largest group in the nation, Latino health has a significant influence on the U.S. healthcare system. For nurses, evidence-based strategies can be tailored to address diverse Latino subpopulations to reduce specific disparities for various ethnic populations.

Traditional studies of political participation assume an electoral environment in which voters decide between two White candidates, and find Latino citizens less politically engaged. Given the growth in the number of Latino candidates for office over the past 20 years, this article tests whether ethnicity impacts Latino voting behavior. I argue that the presence of a Latino candidate mobilizes the Latino electorate, resulting in elevated voter turnout and strong support for the co-ethnic candidates. Although some research provides a theoretical basis for such a claim, this article brings together a comprehensive body of empirical evidence to suggest that ethnicityissalient for Latinos and provides a coherent theory that accounts for the empowering role of co-ethnic candidates. Analysis of recent mayoral elections in five major U.S. cities reveals that Latinos were consistently mobilized by co-ethnic candidates.

This study assessed challenges and strengths reported by 112 Latin American immigrant mothers in rural Illinois communities. Respondents (mean age = 34.5 years; 93% Mexican) took part in structured interviews that covered a range of topics relevant to their families and the broader Latino community. These Latina mothers emphasized language, documentation, and economic issues as key challenges for immigrants. Some challenges decreased with time in the United States but others remained salient among long-term residents. Respondents described an array of individual assets and social resources used by Latino families to confront challenges. The findings suggest opportunities for practitioners to disseminate information about available formal services and resources through existing informal networks.

Latino-majority congressional districts are far more likely to elect Latino representatives to Congress than majority-white districts. However, not all majority-Latino districts do so. This paper addresses this question, and it investigates how the level of influence of political parties and interest groups in majority-Latino districts substantially shapes Latino representation to the US House of Representatives. I rely on five case studies and a dataset of candidates to open congressional races with a Latino population plurality from 2004 to 2014. The evidence indicates that groups and political networks are critical for Latina/o candidate recruitment, the organization of resources in a congressional district, the deployment of campaign resources on behalf of certain candidates, and the eventual success of Latina/o candidates. The findings suggest that Latino descriptive and substantive representation are shaped by the wielding influence of political parties and interest groups.

In recent years, the Latino population has increased rapidly in areas with traditionally low concentration of Latinos. In these emerging communities, Latinos often live scattered, confronting social isolation and social services not tailored to serve their cultural and linguistic needs. Latinos’ invisibility in Pittsburgh is evidenced by the absence of records of the Latino presence in the city’s museums and public archives. OjO Latino, a community engaged project, sought to advance the inclusion of the Latino community in Pittsburgh through Photovoice. This participatory expression methodology enables individuals to share their stories with the larger public through cultural and artistic expression. The intentional organization of the project as a group activity facilitated the transfer of power over the project to participants, creating solidarity and fomenting trust. During four meetings participants took part in a short photography training, discussed their photographs addressing the meaning of being Latino in Pittsburgh, and selected 34 photographs for exhibition organizing them in four themes: Work, Costumes, Family and Landscape and climate. OjO Latino held one exhibit in a community venue and another one at the university. In addition, the photographs are available in an electronic public repository. OjO Latino served a dual purpose of expanding the visibility of Latinos in and educating the larger community. The OjO Latino team got closer to the ways Latino immigrants see and experience the city. Their gaze challenged our own views and experiences and also spoke the saliency of nostalgia and social networks in their lives. The open discussion of what it means to be Latino in an emerging community and the opportunity to produce a visual account of it, along with the acknowledgment of the presence of this diverse population promote human rights, ethnic identity as well as mental and social health.

Abstract What motivated Latinos to turnout in 2020 in the middle of a global health pandemic that has devastated their community financially, physically and mentally? How might we explain Latino support for each one of the Presidential candidates in the context of these crises? In this paper, we tackle these questions through an investigation of the factors that drove Latino turnout in 2020 and what might explain Latino favorability for Joe Biden and Donald Trump. To contextualize these findings, we compare these results to the 2016 election. We find that the most predictive factors of Latino turnout in 2020 were perceived group discrimination and mobilization efforts by campaigns and other organizations. We also find that Latino candidate preference in 2020 can be best explained by issue prioritization. Latinos for whom the economy was the most important issue were more likely to support Donald Trump. However, Latinos for whom COVID-19 and racism towards the Latino community were the top pressing political priorities were more likely to favor Joe Biden. These findings continue to shed light on the diversity and heterogeneity of the Latino vote and speak to the significance of outreach efforts by political parties, candidates and community organizations.

Abstract Cognitive impairment is a major public health concern in the United States. Research indicates cognitive impairment is higher for older U.S. Latinos than non-Latino whites, due in part to Latinos having longer life expectancy, lower educational attainment, and a higher prevalence of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Prior studies on cognition have largely examined “Latinos” as a monolithic group. However, Latinos are heterogeneous in composition with unique socio-cultural characteristics based on nativity and country of origin. Accordingly, we used data from the 1997-2017 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) to document age-specific trends in in self-reported cognitive impairment among US-born Mexican, foreign-born Mexican, island-born Puerto Rican, foreign-born Cuban, and non-Latino white adults aged 60 and older. Given the repeated cross-sectional nature of these data, we estimated hierarchical age period–cohort (HAPC) cross-classified random-effects model (CCREM) to isolate age trends in self-reported cognitive impairment across Latino subgroups and non-Latino whites. Results indicate significant heterogeneity among Latino subgroups, with island-born Puerto Ricans exhibiting the highest rates of cognitive impairment and foreign-born Cubans the lowest. Conversely, US-born and foreign-born Mexicans exhibited rates in between these two. All Latino subgroups statistically differed from non-Latino whites. Socio-demographic controls account for approximately 33%-45% of the disparity, but fully account for foreign-born Cubans and non-Latino whites differences. These findings indicate the importance of considering nativity and country of origin when assessing cognitive outcomes among older Latinos. Understanding minority and immigrant differences in cognitive impairment has implications for the development and implementation of culture-appropriate programs to promote healthy brain aging.

É a experiência das mulheres como uma direção para desafiar as noções de revelação e dogma. O diálogo inter-religioso tem sido construído com as lentes ocidentalizantes do Paradigma das Religiões Mundiais que fixam apenas uma noção do que é Religião. Este artigo tem como objetivo desafiar esses conceitos, tecendo hermenêuticas latino-americanas do diálogo inter-religioso, nesse caso, com as mãos de mulheres feministas. Como podemos entender a hermenêutica do diálogo inter-religioso das mulheres latino-americanas? Dialogaremos com o tema a partir do conceito de diálogo interfé, conectando-o com a colonialidade em Abya Yala, para assim pensar os possíveis caminhos da hermenêutica inter-religiosa feminista latino-americana e do Princípio Pluralista na América Latina.

It is the experience of women as a direction to challenge the notions of revelation and dogma. Interreligious dialogue has been built with the Westernizing lens of the World Religions Paradigm, which has fixed the notion of what Religion is. This article aims to challenge these concepts by weaving Latin American hermeneutics of interreligious dialogue, in this case, with the hands of feminist women. How can we understand the hermeneutics of inter-religious dialogue among Latin American women? We will dialogue with the theme based on the concept of interfaith dialogue, connecting with coloniality in Abya Yala to think about the possible paths of Latin American feminist inter-religious hermeneutics and the Pluralist Principle in Latin America. We will use authors from Latin American feminist theology and the pluralist principle to build possible embroidery from our ground and struggle, such as Maricel-Mena López, Ivone Gebara, Claudio de Oliveira Ribeiro among other thinkers.

As the Latino population grows across the United States and particularly in places outside traditional gateway cities, questions arise around the challenges and opportunities for Latinos in these new areas of settlement. Situated within this context of Latino demographic change, this article examines the construction of a youth-led, grassroots Latino youth group in a mid-sized, Midwestern city. Through a community cultural wealth (Yosso, 2005) and social justice development framework (Ginwright & Cammarota, 2002), this article highlights how Latino youth and adult community allies constructed a space of belonging where youth shared their experiences and knowledge. In the group youth built upon their familial and navigational capital and developed self and social awareness. This youth constructed space differed greatly from the schools youth attended. Drawing from a 16-week, ethnographically informed study this article suggests that when youth are given an opportunity to create and lead their own space, they can provide powerful insight and perspective on educational issues. The findings from this study have implications for educators, youth workers, and policymakers looking for ways to build more engaging, culturally-relevant classrooms and programs for Latina/o students.

Abstract Introduction: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is divided into Pre-B and T phenotypes depending on the progenitor cell giving rise to the malignant clone. This disease is the most common cancer in children while rare in adults. Interestingly, higher incidence rates and poorer outcomes have been reported in patients of Latin American ethnicity. This has been attributed to higher rates of Philadelphia-Like (Ph-like) ALL and increased incidence of high risk features such as absence of hyperdiploidy and absence of t(12;21). The current data among Latinos either exclusively looks at B cell precursor (BCP) ALL or does not distinguish between subtypes. Our study sets out to better define the phenotype of this subset of patients with traditionally poor outcomes. Methods: Our database consisted of 825 adult patients (ages 18-85 years) diagnosed with ALL from the City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center in Los Angeles, California. The population in Southern California has a particularly high number of Latinos due to its proximity to Mexico and Central America. According to the 2017 United States Census, 48.6% of the Los Angeles population is of Hispanic or Latino origin. Age at diagnosis, initial WBC count, CNS involvement, imumnophenotype, cytogenetics and rate of hematopoietic cell transplantation during therapy were assessed between ethnic groups. Multivariable Logistic Regression was done to determine the features that distinguish Latino patients for Non-Hispanic Whites. Results: 57.4% of the patients were Latinos and 42.6% were Non-Hispanic Whites (NHWs), a distribution unique to the Los Angeles area and consistent with US census population data. BCP ALL was more common in Latinos when compared to NHWs with a Hazard Ratio of 5.13 (95% CI between 2.97-8.87). The presence of the t(9;22) or Philadelphia chromosome (Ph+) was more common in NHW patients. The Hazard Ratio for Ph+ ALL in NHWs was 0.53 (95% CI between 0.37-0.77) CNS involvement was more common in Latino patients and MLL was the only cytogenetic abnormality less common in NHWs. Normal Karyotype (NK), Complex and Others were all more common in Latino patients. No difference was found between WBC counts of Latinos and NHW. (Fig. 1). Discussion: ALL has been shown to have higher rates in the Latino population. Our results among adults ages 18-85 years old, demonstrated that this difference can be attributed to higher incidence of BCP ALL and not T-cell among Latinos. This is consistent with the previously reported higher rate of Ph-Like ALL and distinct molecular aberrations among Latinos. Our data shows that the rate of Ph+ ALL is higher in NHWs when compared to Latinos. This is a very interesting finding as the presence of Ph+ ALL and Ph-like ALL are mutually exclusive. Associations have been previously reported between Ph-like ALL and Latin American ethnicity. Although there are types of ALL that are neither Ph+ nor Ph-like this finding suggests a higher incidence of Ph-like ALL in Latinos. At the present time, standard cytogenetics do not include CRLF2, IKZF1 and other mutations found in Ph-like ALL. Complex cytogenetics and CNS involvement, both factors associated with poor prognosis, are most likely to present in a Latino patient. While the precise mechanism is unknown, our findings further support the hypothesis that a unique genetic fingerprint has led to development and outcomes of Ph-like ALL in Latinos. It is evident that this subset of unfavorable BCP ALL population needs special attention. More studies are imperative to further elucidate the mechanism behind Ph-like ALL and pinpoint the risk factors in the Latino population.

Data from the 1980s suggested that small private colleges were the primary entry point to U.S. higher education for Latinas and Latinos who later earned doctorate degrees. However, I show that in the first decade of the 21st century, large percentages of doctorates originated at public universities and community colleges. I suggest that since the 1980s, we may have witnessed a shift in Latina and Latino higher education trajectories, which fits a larger historical pattern in American society—whereby women, racial, ethnic, and religious groups were once excluded but over time made their way into mainstream public education. At a time when public colleges and universities are responding to budget cuts and policy changes by becoming less accessible to low-income and minority students, policy makers should consider the importance of a well-funded, accessible public sector of higher education for preparing the next generation of Latina and Latino scholars.

Este hecho hizo que fuese conocida y utilizada en otros reinos peninsulares y, por tanto, fuese traducida a otras lenguas, como el latín. En el presente artículo se analizarán conjuntamente dos códices latinos de las Siete Partidas, uno de los cuales transmite una traducción latina que fue copiada por Diego Fernández en Sevilla en 1420 para Rodrigo García. El texto latino del manuscrito sevillano ha permanecido desconocido para la investigación académica hasta ahora y no ha sido objeto de ningún estudio dentro de la historiografía alfonsí. Asimismo, el artículo plantea la posibilidad de que Díaz de Montalvo utilizara el texto latino de los manuscritos en su edición glosada publicada en 1501, debido a las conexiones textuales entre esta edición y los códices latinos.

De que maneira os judeus da América Latina, como o proverbial camaleão, têm se tornado parte essencial do ambiente em que habitam? Ou eles estão mais integrados aos padrões culturais “globais”, substituindo a cor local por uma abordagem mais universalista? Por que a América Latina tem sido um imã para imigrantes judeus, desde o período colonial até o presente? Que tipo de lealdade eles professam para com a região? E, mais importante, que papel os judeus latino-americanos desempenham tanto na história judaica geral quanto em sua contraparte, a história latino-americana? Essas e outras questões são abordadas nesta conversa entre Luis S. Krausz e Ilan Stavans. Krausz é professor de Literatura Judaica e Hebraica na Universidade de São Paulo. É autor de Passagens: literatura judaico-alemã entre gueto e metrópole (2012); Santuários heterodoxos: subjetividade e heresia na literatura judaica da Europa Central (2017) e Entre exílio e redenção: aspectos da literatura de imigração judaico-oriental (2019). Stavans é Professor Lewis-Sebring em Humanidades, América Latina e Cultura Latino Americana no Amherst College.

AbstractThe question of how partisanship is influenced by exogenous factors has been vigorously debated, yet this debate is less frequently noted in the literature on Latino partisanship. This study analyzes the 2006 Latino National Survey with geographic identifiers to explore how the political context of a county influences Latino partisan self-identification. There are a variety of reasons why the political environment might influence Latinos’ partisan choice. First, a substantial proportion of the adult Latino population in the United States is foreign-born, potentially lessening the influence of parental partisan socialization. Second, increased migration to areas outside the Southwest has exposed Latinos to new and different social, political, and economic environments. Using subgroup analysis, interactive logit models, and regression discontinuity, we find that the local political context influences the party attachment of Latino immigrants in predictable ways. However, for Latinos born in the United States, our analysis does not provide evidence of a causal connection between partisan environment and an individual's partisan identification.

A América Latina surgiu como espaço simbólico muito tempo após a conquista territorial. O processo de colonização significou o encontro entre diferentes povos e culturas, com desigualdades de poder. A relação entre os países latino-americanos caracterizou-se historicamente por aproximações e tensões, haja vista semelhanças e diferenças histórico-culturais, mas também escolhas políticas e econômicas. Nosso objetivo foi investigar possível vinculação identitária à América Latina expressa por estudantes de diferentes países latino-americanos. Foram entrevistados 16 estudantes de graduação de sete nacionalidades. Utilizou-se o método de análise de conteúdo e chegou-se às seguintes unidades de significação: diferenças e semelhanças na América Latina; identidade e alteridade na relação entre América Latina, Estados Unidos e Europa; relação entre Brasil e países hispano-americanos; identidade latino-americana; integração e universidade na América Latina. Percebeu-se a necessidade de ressignificar a identidade latino-americana, valorizando sua diversidade e criando vínculos de solidariedade no continente.

Full textAbstract:
A content analysis of U.S. magazine advertisements aimed at general audiences examines the frequency and nature of advertising portrayals of Latino Americans. To assess the nature of portrayals, Latino representation by product category is analyzed, as are the types of relationships and settings in which Latino American models are shown. Results suggest that Latinos are highly under-represented in magazine advertising. Implications of the low incidence of portrayals of Latinos are discussed.

AbstractObjectiveTo measure rates of hunger and food insecurity among young US-born Latino children with Mexican immigrant parents (Latinos) compared with a non-immigrant non-Latino population (non-Latinos) in a low-income clinic population.Design, setting and subjectsA repeated cross-sectional survey of 4278 caregivers of children < 3 years of age in the paediatric clinic of an urban county hospital for a 5-year period from 1998 to 2003. A total of 1310 respondents had a US-born child with at least one parent born in Mexico. They were compared with a reference group comprised of non-Latino US-born participants (n = 1805). Child hunger and household food insecurity were determined with the US Household Food Security Scale.ResultsYoung Latino children had much higher rates of child hunger than non-Latinos, 6.8 versus 0.5%. Latino families also had higher rates of household food insecurity than non-Latinos, 53.1 versus 15.6%. Latino children remained much more likely to be hungry (odds ratio (OR) = 13.0, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 5.9–28.7, P < 0.01) and in household food-insecure households (OR = 6.6, 95% CI = 5.2–8.3, P < 0.01) than non-Latinos after controlling for the following variables in multivariate analysis: child's age, sex, maternal education level, single-headed household status, family size, young maternal age ( < 21 years), food stamp programme participation, TANF (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, or ‘welfare’) programme participation and WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) usage, and reason for clinic visit (sick visit versus well-child).ConclusionYoung children in Mexican immigrant families are at especially high risk for hunger and household food insecurity compared with non-immigrant, non-Latino patients in a low-income paediatric clinic.

Abstract The Latino Nineteenth Century: Archival Encounters in American Literary History (2016), edited by Rodrigo Lazo and Jesse Alemán, is a formative volume that, in its capaciousness, reorients nineteenth-century literary history toward a substantial engagement with Latinx and Latin American literary and cultural production. Consisting of 15 sections written by leading scholars in the field of nineteenth-century Latinx literary studies, the volume tackles an impressive range of nineteenth-century Latinx thinkers and texts. The essays collected here oscillate seamlessly from macro to micro scales of space, move across the long nineteenth century, and engage with an array of printed materials of the Latinx nineteenth century. This volume is about multiplicity: from Jessie Alemán’s Philadelphia to Juan Poblete’s essay on the close ties between California and Chile in the nineteenth century; from the instances of failed immigration outlined by Robert McKee Irwin to Kirsten Silva Gruesz’s migratory “errancy”; from José Aranda’s essay on Mexican American modernity to Marissa Lopez’s argument about Latino dismodernity. Ultimately, the editors and contributors reveal the numerous nineteenth centuries across the hemisphere, and help us imagine the intersections of US literary history and Latinx studies in the nineteenth century.

Full textAbstract:
In this article, Maria Estela Zarate and Ronald Gallimore identify factors that predicted college enrollment for Latino and Latina students. Using data from a 15-year study of randomly recruited Latino and Latina youth (primarily second-generation Mexican Americans), they found that different factors were associated with their college enrollment. For Latinos, academic achievement (as measured by standardized tests), parental factors, and language proficiency consistently predicted their college enrollment. In contrast, for Latinas, teacher-rated classroom performance and pursuit of college counseling in high school were consistently significant predictors for college enrollment. These findings contrast with dominant college-attainment models and pose questions about how school agents might influence educational outcomes for Latinas. While their quantitative analyses exposed gender differences in factors that led to college enrollment, the authors conclude that future research should use a qualitative approach to explore how and why gender differences exist. Zarate and Gallimore speculate that nonacademic factors, such as interaction with parents and teachers, may explain the absence of a consistent predictive power of test scores for Latina college enrollment.

Full textAbstract:
Growth of the U.S. Latino population translates into policy interest of how business owner, firm, and local characteristics may be different for Latinos. To explore ethnicity and business ownership, this study merges restricted-access data from 11 million businesses. Multinomial logistic regression estimates how characteristics associate with the probability of the business being Latino-owned relative to White-owned, Black-owned, or Asian-owned. There are differences in the source and amount of start-up funds, gender, and the sector of the business. The differences depend on the group to which Latinos are being compared; for example, manufacturing firms are less likely to be Latino owned than White owned, but more likely to be Latino owned than Black owned. An exception is college education and rurality; Latino owners are consistently less likely to be college educated and more likely to locate in rural areas than the other ethnic minorities. The results should be helpful to groups attempting to improve Latino business outcomes.
