The Latino Challenge to Black America: Towards a Conversation Between African-Americans and Hispanics examines the hot button issues and problems that conflict and unite blacks and Latinos. It looks at how both groups see and interpret those issues and problems through the prism of their experiences. It’s a highly readable, fast paced, cutting edge book that blends the personal and the analytical, and that ultimately can serve as a guide to navigate race and ethnic relations through 21st Century America. The book will be published jointly in Spanish and English.

Publishers Weekly Review:
Social critic Hutchinson (The Emerging Black GOP Majority) deftly explains the challenges posed by immigration to an African-American audience wary of a Latino threat played up by the media.  Read the full review.

“Mr. Hutchinson’s book is an important contribution to the continuing examination of the evolving relationship between Latinos and African Americans. It is this relationship and its fissures that will play a major role in defining American society and politics in the 21^st century.”
