THE LATINO HEALTH BIBLE

At a time when there is a proliferation of New Age books on Latinos on the shelves, it is refreshing to find such a serious and indepth collection of articles that explore the important issue of health in the Latino community. This is a comprehensive reader written by leading scholars and practitioners of Latino health issues. It represents an important follow-up to the editors' earlier pathbreaking reader on the subject. This is a serious academic textbook and is certainly not a light read, but it should be on the bookshelves of all persons and institutions concerned about the health status of the Latino community.
