Abstract

Cecilia Márquez's book "Making the Latino South: A History of Racial Formation" explores the development of Black and Brown Latino racial identity in the Nuevo South, examining how Latinos were perceived and treated in the context of Southern white supremacy, Blackness, and civil rights movements from the 1940s to the 2010s. The book delves into specific case studies, such as the exclusion of a woman with a Spanish surname from a Black trade school and the activism of Latina/o activists in the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. While some aspects of the argument may seem tenuous and the organization of the book as discrete case studies rather than a cohesive study, Márquez's work offers a valuable historical analysis of Latino activism in the twenty-first century.
