This book has a very interesting insight on the "Hispanic Population".

Ms. Valdes works on four different ways of segmenting the Hispanic market - based on age, acculturation and language, country of origin, and by generation.

Included in the book are many new case studies from a variety of different industries, a listing of the 100 best websites for targeting Hispanics, and links that we all may find useful.
