The Latino education crisis is not simply a result of immigration. The US population is more familiar with the term Latino and many still use the Hispanic. But what this word mean for people who themselves are grouped in? Americans see this gender as Latino/Hispanic, but those Hispanic American and even recent arrived from Spanish speaking world, don't see themselves as such. Hispanics belong to other smaller groups, mostly classified by country.

The book documents where we are now, and where we might go, in our education, and care of, the Latino population.

So, forget about those uneducated parents who happen to arrive to the promised land, these kids are Americans and we all should be concerned about. "Almost one in five students across the country is Latino; by 2050 one in three will be", continues the cited article. Definitely, Gándara and Contreras' book is a call to action and will be .
