Many--Afrolatino, indigenous, Muslim, queer and undocumented, living in large cities and small towns--are voices who have been chronically overlooked in how the diverse population of almost sixty million Latinos in the U.S. has been represented. No longer.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this empowering cross-country travelogue, journalist and activist Paola Ramos embarks on a journey to find the communities of people defining the controversial term, \"Latinx.\" She introduces us to the indigenous Oaxacans who rebuilt the main street in a post-industrial town in upstate New York, the \"Las Poderosas\" who fight for reproductive rights in Texas, the musicians in Milwaukee whose beats reassure others of their belonging, as well as drag queens, environmental activists, farmworkers, and the migrants detained at our border. Drawing on intensive field research as well as her own personal story, Ramos chronicles how \"Latinx\" has given rise to a sense of collectivity and solidarity among Latinos unseen in this country for decades. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA vital and inspiring work of reportage, \u003ci\u003eFinding Latinx\u003c\/i\u003e calls on all of us to expand our understanding of what it means to be Latino and what it means to be American. The first step towards change, writes Ramos, is for us to recognize who we are.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paola Ramos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1984899090\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781984899095\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2020 pg. 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2020 pg. 100","brand":"Paola Ramos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44055085875455,"sku":"9781984899095","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_95eaf3b9-f316-40ac-9ba8-53cb325c91b0.jpg?v=1685033707","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/finding-latinx-paola-ramos-9781984899095","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
