Description
"'History of Latinos: Exploring Diverse Roots' takes a new approach to the history of Latina/os in the United States. In the past, textbooks have divided the histories of Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Dominicans, and Central and South Americans into separate chapters, concentrating on the arrival and settlement of each group in the United States. This book, while paying careful attention to the unique historical trajectory of diverse Latina/o communities, takes a different path, drawing the various groups into a single narrative and highlighting the interactions and shared communities formed by Latinas and Latinos. This shared Latina/o history framework also allows us to see some broader trends in U.S. history such as the uneveness of citizenship and belonging, the middle area that so many people in the past, and in the present, have occupied between exclusion on the one hand and full inclusion and membership in the nation on the other. ... Chapters will cover a critical period in Latina/o history, beginning in the 1500s and ending in the first decade of the twenty-first century. Chapters will also include short profiles of important Latinas and Latinos."--
