**Learn how Anglos and Latinos, America's fastest growing minority
group, can successfully live and work together.**Although the Rio Grande
may be the physical dividing line between Latin America and the United
States, an invisible border - a cultural one - also divides Latinos and
those in the mainstream U.S. culture.
Latinos and Anglos raise their families, conduct business and solve
problems in different ways. How do Anglos successfully live and work
with the now 40 million Latinos, America's fastest growing minority
group, given the considerable differences in values and behaviors that
exist between the two cultures? The Invisible Border is the first book
to examine the Latino's intellectual and emotional relationship to work,
family life, identity, friendships, romance, religion, morality,
thinking and reasoning and to the Anglo community.
Side-by-side comparisons help deconstruct Latino and Anglo cultural
differences, showing the reader how core Latino values, such as the
hierarchical family unit and intuitive decision-making, shape behavior
and compare with common Anglo ways. The Invisible Border is an
essential resource for the savvy businessperson, politician, teacher,
healthcare worker and civil servant - anyone who sees the shift in
American demographics and who needs the foresight and cultural awareness
to learn how to adapt.
