      abstract = {This, the first book on Latinos in America from an urban  planning/policy perspective, covers the last century, and  includes a substantial historical overview of the subject.  The author traces the movement of Latinos (primarily  Chicanos) into American cities from Mexico and then  describe the problems facing them in those cities. He then  shows how the planning profession and developers  consistently failed to meet their needs due to both poverty  and racism. Attention is also paid to the most pressing  concerns in Latino barrios during recent times, including  environmental degradation and justice, land use policy, and  other issues. The book closes with a consideration of the  issues that will face Latinos as they become the nation's  largest minority in the 21st century. Also includes six  maps.--From publisher description.},
