Experts: Hispanic Boom is Economic Boon
March 10, 2009
Texas Tech University authors make argument for Hispanic-led economic boom.
The booming Hispanic population in the United States presents well-publicized challenges,
but three Texas Tech University colleagues believe that the Hispanic immigration phenomenon
presents opportunities, not roadblocks.
A new book "Hispanic Heresy: What is the Impact of America's Largest Population of
Immigrants?" asserts that opportunities exist relevant to the historical value of
immigrants and their willingness to take on the entry level jobs and work their way
up to achieve the American dream.
Co-authors are Angel L. Reyes III, a 2008 graduate of the Texas Tech Rawls College
of Business Executive MBA program and Dallas-area attorney; Bradley Ewing, the Jerry S. Rawls Professor in Operations Management; and James Wetherbe, Rawls College of Business Stevenson Chair in Information Technology. The trio works
to dispel many of the misunderstandings about how Hispanics in America impact the
country's socio-economics.
The three authors, who embrace different political points of view, are available for
discussion and comment.
The book is available online at www.meadpublishing.biz.
