Pérez and Salazar’s analysis of socio-economic and educational trends in Latino populations uses a variety of data from studies conducted throughout the 1980s and 1990s to understand why the rapid increase in the Latino population has not been accompanied by a proportionate increase in educational attainment. Their analysis not only highlights the historic and self-perpetuating connection between the low socioeconomic status of Latino populations and low levels of educational attainment; it also points to specific problems contributing to these problems and suggests possible changes in educational policy.
