The Latino Manifesto is a community call to a higher level of race consciousness.  Latinos are still observers and not full participants in the Black / White political debates in the United States. As a result of the rise of anti-immigration sentiments, we have become political scapegoats for both blacks and whites in the debate to allow amnesty for Latinos who have illegally entered the country.  The underlying fear of whites being genetically wiped out and African Americans losing job opportunities to foreign labor renders us politically impotent.   The book attacks the Latino myths of racial harmony by revisiting the history of the Spanish and Portuguese conquest in the Americas and the process of "Hispanization" of people African and Indigenous descent who make up the majority in Latin America.  Mr. Rodriguez makes the link between how we will become  victims of history if we do not grasp the truth of how we were impacted by White Supremacy in our own historical, cultural and political development.  Only through race consciousness  can we develop the analytical tools to survive  the current environment of xenophobia and racism within the U.S.  This book is a must read for those who are politically concerned about the future of Latinos in this country.
