But does this image tell us enough about how the diverse minorities among the urban poor actually experience and cope with poverty? No, say the contributors to In the Barrios. Their portraits of eight Latino communities--in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Houston, Chicago, Albuquerque, Laredo, and Tucson--reveal a far more complex reality. In the Barrios responds directly to current debates on the origins of the underclass and depicts the cultural, demographic, and historical forces that have shaped poor Latino communities.

In many of these neighborhoods, a network of emotional as well as economic support extends across families and borders.
