Summary
LatinoLand is a rare and comprehensive overview of Hispanic America based on personal interviews, in-depth research, and Marie Arana's life experience as a Latina. Today, Latinos make up twenty percent of the U.S. population, and that number continues to grow. By 2050, census reports project that one in three Americans will be of Latino descent. But Latinos are not a monolith. They do not represent a single group. The largest are Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Salvadorans, and Cubans. Each has a different cultural and political background. Puerto Ricans, for example, are U.S. citizens, while some Mexican Americans never emigrated because the U.S.- Mexico border shifted after the U.S. invasion in 1848, incorporating what is now the entire American Southwest. Cubans arrived in two waves: those who fled communism in Castro's early years, many of whom were professionals and wealthy, and those who left on leave in the Mariel boatlift twenty years later, representing some of the poorest Cubans, including prisoners. As LatinoLand shows, Latinos were among the first immigrants to arrive in what is now the United States, some as early as the 16th century. Racially, they are diverse: a random mix of whites, blacks, indigenous peoples and Asians. Once overwhelmingly Catholic, they are increasingly Protestant and evangelical. They range from domestic workers and day laborers to successful artists, corporate executives and U.S. senators. Once overwhelmingly Democrats, they now increasingly vote Republican. Culturally, they are as varied as any immigrant from Europe or Asia.
