A professor of law, sociology, and Chicana/Chicano studies at UCLA, Laura E. Gómez is also the author, most recently, of Inventing Latinos: A New Story of American Racism, which, says Kirkus, “provides much-needed insight into the true complexity of Latinx identity while revealing the ways in which the dominant culture continues to mask the many racist currents within American society.” Gómez discussed the book with WYPL late last month.
