Brilliant.... A loving and detailed celebration of a diverse; beautiful and often astounding people.―Laurence Gonzales; Chicago Tribune They are sometimes called the people who died twice; once at the hands of the Spaniards and their brutal process of civilization; then at the hands of Anglos; practicing a subtler exploitation. They are Latinos; the fastest-growing minority in the United States. Earl Shorris's deeply moving narrative―enlivened by biographical sketches of Mexican Americans; Cuban Americans; Puerto Ricans; and many others struggling with the burden of a rich and terrible history―illuminates every aspect of the Latino experience in America; from language to education to social and political organization. "[A] powerful; beautifully-written and thoughtful book...likely to remain unequaled in its sweep and profundity for some time to come."―J. Jorge Klor de Alva; The New York Times Book Review "A smart; perceptive and wonderfully readable book.... Should be required reading for anyone who would hope to understand America."―Gerald Volgenau; Boston Globe
