Book Description
The performance of Spanish surnames as an identifier of the Hispanic population has proven to be only adequate in the southwestern United States and considerably worse in the rest of the country. Nevertheless, the concept of Spanish surname still finds widespread usage as a proxy for Hispanic affiliation in areas such as vital statistics (from some States), census data, school administration statistics, and affirmative action programs. Recent work at the Census Bureau, which led to the research reported in this paper, indicates that the less than adequate overall performance should probably not be attributed to the concept of Spanish surname as an identifier but rather to the presence of specific names on the existing list of Spanish surnames. Although the correlation between the Spanish surname and Spanish origin identifiers can never attain unity, a substantial improvement in the relationship (from about 80 percent agreement in the Southwest and 50 percent elsewhere) can be expected with an improved list of spanish surnames.

Book Description
The Hispanic population in the United States is a richly diverse and changing segment of our national community. Frank Bean and Marta Tienda emphasize a shifting cluster of populations—Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central and South American, Spanish, and Caribbean—as they examine fertility and immigration, family and marriage patterns, education, earnings, and employment. They discuss, for instance, the effectiveness of bilingual education, recommending instead culturally supportive programs that will benefit both Hispanic and non-Hispanic students. A study of the geographic distribution of Hispanics shows that their tendency to live in metropolitan areas may, in fact, result in an isolation which denies them equal access to schooling, jobs, and health care. Bean and Tienda offer a critical, much-needed assessment of how Hispanics are faring and what the issues for the future will be. Their findings reveal and reflect differences in the Hispanic population that will influence policy decisions and affect the Hispanic community on regional and national levels. "...represents the state of the art for quantitative analysis of ethnic groups in the United States." —American Journal of Sociology A Volume in the Russell Sage Foundation Census Series
