This book examines the colonial structure as it applies to Latine populations and demonstrates how the remnants of that structure continue to affect this ethnic group.  It will show that the colonial perspective is aligned with a racist viewpoint and the many ways in which this undermines psychological stability.  Currently, many psychologists dealing with this population focus on individual deficits or disorders without the clarifying lens of social justice.  In this way, the book will unravel the various strands of socio-political stressors and the disabling effects of lingering oppression. It will serve to bring new insights to those studying this group, as well as the many mental health workers that provide services.  The result is an identification of a native psychology that is uniquely tailored to these particular individuals.
