Afro-Latinos in the U.S. Economy outlines the current status of Afro-Latinos in the U.S. economy. The goal of this book is to provide a foundation in the economic dimensions of American Afro-Latinos which can be used to supplement research about this group in other social science disciplines.
Afro-Latinos in the U.S. Economy outlines the current position and status of Afro-Latinos in the economy of the United States. Very little research has thus far been disseminated in the field of economics on the contributions of Afro-Latinos to the U.S. economy with regard to income and wealth generation, labor market status, occupational mobility, and educational attainment. On the other hand, the fields of anthropology, sociology, political science and cultural studies have produced a wealth of research on Afro-Latinos in the U.S.; the discipline of economics is, thus, significantly behind the curve in exploring the economic dimensions of this group. While Afro-Latinos constitute a comparatively small segment of the U.S. population, they form the nexus between this country’s two largest minority groups—African Americans and Latinos, who, comprise 13 percent and 17 percent, respectively, of the U.S. population. The goal of this book is to provide a foundation in the economic dimensions of Afro-Latinos in the U.S. which can be used to both complement and supplement research conducted on this group in other major social science disciplines.
