Publisher's Synopsis
Latinas/os are the largest ethnic minority group in the U.S. but are the least represented population in our colleges and universities, whether as administrators, faculty or students; and as students have one of the highest levels of attrition. In this ground-breaking book, twenty-four Latina/o scholars provide an historical background; review issues of student access and achievement, and lessons learned; and present the problems of status and barriers faced by administrators and faculty. The book also includes narratives by graduate students, administrators and faculty that complement the essays and vividly bring these issues to life.
