Summary

"The Columbia History of Latinos in the United States Since 1960 is among the few comprehensive histories of Latinos in America. This interdisciplinary volume provides not only cutting-edge interpretations of recent Latino history, including essays on the six major immigrant groups (Mexicans, Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Central Americans, and South Americans), but also insight into the major areas of contention and debate that characterize Latino scholarship in the early twenty-first century." "This book offers a broad overview of this era of explosive demographic and cultural change by exploring the recent histories of all the major national and regional Latino subpopulations and reflecting on what these historical trends might mean for the future of both the United States and the other increasingly connected nations of the Western Hemisphere. A multinational perspective on important political and cultural themes - such as Latin gender systems, religion, politics, expressive and artistic cultures, and interactions with the law - helps shape a realistic interpretation of the Latino experience in the United States."--Jacket
