"If originality in philosophy is measured by the novelty of the
ideas employed to deal with ancient problems, Jorge Gracia's book
Latinos in America is at once original and a novelty.
Spinoza believed that every thing wants to persevere in its present
form: a tree wants to be a tree, and a dog a dog. Latinos in
America want to be Latinos in America--no easy task, and therefore
an intriguing one to explore. Building his argument with acumen and
conviction, Gracia is up to that task."
–Ilan Stavans, author of The Hispanic Condition
and Spanglish: The Making of a New American Language
"This is an essential book for anyone interested in Latin
American philosophy, including questions of race, Latino identity,
ethnic group terms, linguistic rights, affirmative action, and the
role of history."
–Susana Nuccetelli, St. Cloud State University
