We are commonly told that it was a \"creative class\" of young professionals who revived a moribund urban America in the 1990s and 2000s. But this stunning reversal owes much more to another, far less visible group: Latino and Latina newcomers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAward-winning historian A. K. Sandoval-Strausz reveals this history by focusing on two barrios: Chicago's Little Village and Dallas's Oak Cliff. These neighborhoods lost residents and jobs for decades before Latin American immigration turned them around beginning in the 1970s. As Sandoval-Strausz shows, Latinos made cities dynamic, stable, and safe by purchasing homes, opening businesses, and reviving street life. \u003ci\u003eBarrio America\u003c\/i\u003e uses vivid oral histories and detailed statistics to show how the great Latino migrations transformed America for the better.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Basic Books","offers":[{"title":"Barrio America: How Latino Immigrants Saved the American City | A K Sandoval-Strausz | Hardcover | 9781541697249 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks D 1788189","offer_id":67796520829080,"sku":"1788189","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/91j1iA46SxL.jpg?v=1792793780","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/barrio-america-how-latino-immigrants-saved-the-american-city","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
