Although Ernesto Nieto founded the National Hispanic Institute (NHI) in 1979, its story begins during the first part of the twentieth century through the lives of his grandmother and his parents. Third Reality: Crafting a 21st Century Latino Agenda tells the story of one man's - and one organization's - triumphs, defeats, and dreams in pursuit of an emerging future for Latinos. Third Reality: Crafting a 21st Century Latino Agenda is a book for every person, young or older, who has an interest in Latino community life, as well as as a must read for teachers, school administrators, members of Latino organizations, social workers, community organizers, high school or college students, or business people in general. This book sets out a new agenda in training future Latino leaders and unfolds a new model of training through the author's lifetime experience of work in Latino community development throughout the nation.
