Blue Collar Books

Blue Collar Books is a virtual bookstore of books selected by Dr. Alfredo Carlos, a Political Economist who focuses on Latino Working class issues. I currently teach in the department of Labor Studies and have taught in Political Science and Chicano/Latino Studies as well. The books suggestions come out of my own education, teaching and personal experience.

 

Over the years I have taught over 20 different courses covering various topics related to

Political Economy; Mexican, Chicano and Latino Politics; Labor and Inequality; Economic Democracy; Urban Politics; Racial and Ethnic Politics; Immigration; Social Movements; Postcolonial and Critical Theory; Hegemony and Politics in Entertainment Media. My book suggestions come directly from material I draw from in teaching these courses.
