Beautifully written and brimming with insights, Latino City captures the remarkable story of New England's 'Latinization' in the late twentieth century. Chronicling how Dominicans and Puerto Ricans reanimated Lawrence, Massachusetts, after World War II, Barber foregrounds the ways in which U.S. imperialism in the Caribbean drove new demographic changes in that city and elsewhere. A terrific exploration of Latino struggles against deindustrialization, racial violence, and welfare reform as well as the creative ways in which residents of Lawrence remade urban spaces and fashioned new local and transnational politics, Latino City deserves wide attention by scholars and the general public.--Stephen Pitti, Yale University



Latino City offers an essential lens for understanding the national and global histories of immigration and of U.S. cities in the second half of the twentieth century. In recounting the history of Lawrence, and the stories of the Dominican, Puerto Rican, and other Latino migrants who saved it from abandonment and decay, Barber emphasizes the disjuncture between the revitalization that these Latinos brought to the city and the appalling racism, abuse, exclusion, and brutality that they faced in everyday life.--A. K. Sandoval-Strausz, University of New Mexico



Llana Barber offers a welcome addition to the growing literature on Latinos/as in the urban North. Drawing on vivid oral history interviews and rich data, she gives readers an intimate view of how Latinos/as in Lawrence encountered the urban crisis, particularly in the 1980s and 1990s. Barber presents an ideal model for interethnic Latino/a urban history, one that reminds us that Latinos/as have lived among one another in ethnically diverse communities and that they migrated to smaller cities beyond New York, Chicago, and Miami in the postwar years.--Lilia Fernandez, Brown in the Windy City: Mexicans and Puerto Ricans in Postwar Chicago

Llana Barber is assistant professor of American studies at the State University of New York College at Old Westbury.
