This compelling account of racial identity takes a close look at the question “Who is a Latino?” and determines where persons of mixed Anglo<\/a>-Latino heritage fit into the racial dynamics of the United States. The son of a Mexican-American mother and an Anglo father, Kevin Johnson has spent his life in the borderlands between racial identities. In this insightful book, he uses his experiences as a mixed Latino-Anglo to examine issues of diversity, assimilation, race relations, and affirmative action<\/a> in contemporary United States.<\/p>\n
