A first–of–its–kind book that seriously and profoundly examines what it means philosophically to be Latino and where Latinos fit in American society.

Offers a fresh perspective and clearer understanding of Latin American thought and culture, rejecting answers based on stereotypes and fear

Takes an interdisciplinary approach to the philosophical, social, and political elements of Hispanic/Latino identity, touching upon anthropology, history, cultural studies and sociology, as well as philosophy

Written by Jorge J. E. Gracia, one of the most influential thinkers of Hispanic/Latino descent
