This book is an introduction to issues involved in undertaking research with Hispanics in America. By compiling the experiences of researchers who have conducted studies with Hispanics, the authors aim to enable future investigators to overcome the methodological limitations of previous research. The authors indicate problem areas where more culturally appropriate research is needed, eg. in prejudice, discrimination, institutional racism, low educational achievement, high mortality and unemployment. This text may by of interest to students, academics and researchers in ethnic studies, anthropology, sociology, research methodology and education.
