## Description

Looking like a Language, Sounding like a Race examines the emergence of linguistic and ethnoracial categories in contemporary U.S. constructions of Latinidad. The book draws from long-term ethnographic research in a Chicago high school and its surrounding communities to analyze the creation and contestation of political, ethnoracial, and linguistic borders.

Review: A new high-water mark for excellence in qualitative scholarship. - For those who are familiar with Jonathan Rosa's work, we have come to expect the highest level of ground-breaking and insightfully erudite scholarship from him. Before reading "Looking Like a Language, Sounding like a Race", I had enormously high expectations, and I am simultaneously surprised and elated to say that this new work wholly surpassed my expectations. From his insightful analysis of the complex intersections of language, race and Latinx identity, to his uncanny ability to produce convincing arguments that often border on poetic in their effectiveness, Dr. Rosa has produced a piece of scholarship that will long be remembered as one of the definitive ethnographic and linguistic works of this generation. This book is more than just a must-read. This book should be a mandatory inclusion on any syllabus for any course that discusses intersections of language, race, and education. I can not overstate the significance of this work and give it my highest possible recommendation.
Review: Great Book! - An Amazing book! A must read for a more in depth view of language, culture, identity and relations in the Latin community.
