This book looks at the social and political history of both groups, pointing out their differences and similarities, and exploring their perceived role in America's social strata. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAuthor Karen Juanita Carrillo delves into the often-controversial issues that have undermined Afro-Latino race relations in this country, including how the war on poverty led to competition and animosity, how the legacy of slavery bears on their relationship, and how prejudices among new immigrants inflame existing tensions.
