"A sweeping yet personal overview of Latino America, drawn from hundreds of interviews and prodigious research, that explores the diversity of our largest and fastest-growing minority. Census reports project that by 2050, as much as 30 percent of the US population will claim Latino heritage. But Latinos are not a single group of people. They are Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Salvadorans, Cubans, and many others. Each has a different cultural and political background. Some are Indigenous, with ancestors who were here long before the continent's earliest immigrants; others arrived in the 1500s. More came later, from many parts of the world. Their history and contributions are bound to surprise you"--Dust jacket flap.
