Willing to reciprocate for a similar length manuscript, specially other nonfiction or historical fiction. :Hug2:

It's 35,000 words long. You don't have to read the whole thing.

SYNOPSIS, from Query Letter

The Latino Hoax is the first book to loudly proclaim what until now has been taboo, that Latinos don’t exist.

In Latin America, the “Latino” homeland, Latino and Hispanic are not used as racial or ethnic terms, instead the population is divided into whites, blacks, Amerindians and their various mixtures. In the United States it wasn’t until the Nixon Administration created a Spanish Origin category in time for the 1970 Census, that individuals from Spanish speaking countries were grouped into one category. As shown in the book the creators of this category did not believe in a Latin American race, but did believe in the benefits that such a thing would provide. This is what makes the Latino label The Latino Hoax. Originally created to help Nixon’s re-election efforts, Democrats and ethnic activists soon embraced it for their own purposes. By creating a new racial category and pretending it was a historically oppressed minority, it was acceptable to direct government money their way, and thus buy their votes. After 40 years of propaganda, 75% of “Latinos” still don’t identify with these terms, and 70% say they don’t have a common culture, making it easy to revert to a pre-Latino system.(1) The Latino hoax has a negative impact on the body politic: increasing divisiveness, distorting history, and causing a misallocation of resources. Further it doesn’t have any measurable positive impact on “Latinos”, despite affirmative action and other privileges.


You can also go to my site (below) to get a better idea of what the book is about.

Thanks. ;)
