Some of the new titles from CCNY faculty.
“Latinos in New York: Communities in Transition, Second Edition,” a follow up to the comprehensive study of the city’s Latino population published in 1996, is one of the new books by City College of New York faculty. It is co-edited by Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership professors Sherrie Baver, Gabriel Haslip-Viera (Emeritus), and Angelo Falcón, co-founder of the National Institute for Latino Policy.
This new edition captures the most significant continuities, discontinuities, and changes of the last two decades in the local Latino community as a whole and among the various national groups. Critics hail it as timely and relevant as was the first edition.
“Black Detroit: A People’s History of Self-Determination,” by Herb Boyd, adjunct lecturer in the Black Studies Program, has been lauded by Publishers Weekly for breathing “new life into the history of Detroit through stories of the city’s black residents from its earliest days to its bittersweet present.”
