Out of the Barrio
Toward a New Politics of Hispanic Assimilation
(Basic Books, 1991)
by Linda Chavez
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
“Out of the Barrio is sober, eloquent, and politically incorrect.”
– Dinesh D’ Souza, author of Illiberal Education
“Chavez not only distinguishes fact from myth, she distinguishes Hispanics from the vocal activists who speak in their name.”
– Thomas Sowell, Forbes
“Out of the Barrio is a book that should explode the stereotypes about Hispanics that have clouded their minds of patronizing liberals and xenophobic conservatives alike.”
– Denver Post
“Chavez’s criticism of separatist ideologues is apt and badly needed.”
– Tamar Jacoby, Wall Street Journal
“In Out of the Barrio, Linda Chavez offers a fresh perspective on the attitudes of this fastest-growing segment of the population.”
– National Review
“Linda Chavez has long been a conservative thorn in the side of established, predominantly liberal Hispanic policy makers…Now, with Out of the Barrio, Chavez promises to be even more of a painful thorn, lodging herself deeper into the flesh of the Hispanic political status quo.”
– Hispanic
“A provocative and timely book…Chavez does a superb job of culling sources in support of her thesis. The book is must reading for everyone interested in the politics of immigrant adaptation, urban poverty, and race and ethnicity.”
– Alejandro Portes, John Dewey Professor of Sociology and
International Relations, Johns Hopkins University
