This book aims to dispel pervasive historical and contemporary misconceptions and inaccuracies and highlights the diversity of Latino/Hispanic experiences to help provide more effective services to those clients. Literature on Latinos/Hispanics reflects a dysfunctional and myopic cultural view in which they are often depicted in stereotypic characteristics and as a homogenous population. Chapters examine: the social ecology of Mexican-American child development; caregiver well-being among Cuban and Puerto Rican mothers of mentally retarded adults; the adjustment process among Cuban refugee families; one Southwestern community’s efforts to create a multiethnic neighborhood coalition against substance abuse; a study of changes related to migration, family, and work in Caribbean women’s lives.
