Today, Latinos represent twenty percent of the U.S. population, a figure that continues to rise. By 2050, census reports predict that one in three Americans will be of Latino descent. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut Latinos are not a monolith. They do not represent a single group. The most numerous 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 immigrated because the U.S.-Mexico border shifted after the 1848 U.S. invasion, incorporating what is now the entire Southwest United States. Cubans arrived in two major waves: those who escaped communism in Castro's early years, many of whom were professionals and wealthy, and those who left with permission in the Mariel exodus twenty years later, who represented some of the poorest Cubans, including prisoners. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs \u003ci\u003eLatinoLand\u003c\/i\u003e shows, Latinos were among the first immigrants to arrive in what is now the United States, some in the 16th century. Racially they are diverse: a random mix of white, black, indigenous, and Asian. Once overwhelmingly Catholic, among them there are increasing numbers of Protestants and Evangelicals. They range from domestic workers and day laborers to successful artists, business executives, and U.S. senators. Formerly mostly Democrats, they are now increasingly voting Republican. Culturally they are as varied as any immigrant from Europe or Asia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-12173561\"\u003eMarie Arana\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atria\/Primero Sueno Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/21\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 1.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781668088968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1668088967\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e Spanish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SOC\"\u003eSocial Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SOC044000\"\u003eCultural \u0026amp; Ethnic Studies | American | Hispanic \u0026amp; Latino Stu\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS036070\"\u003eUnited States | 21st Century\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SOC\"\u003eSocial Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SOC007000\"\u003eEmigration \u0026amp; Immigration\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarie Arana draws on her own experience as the daughter of an American mother and a Peruvian father, arriving in the United States at the age of nine and straddling two worlds like so many Latinos. \"Thorough, accessible, and necessary\" (\u003ci\u003eMs.\u003c\/i\u003e magazine), \u003ci\u003eLatinoLand\u003c\/i\u003e unapologetically celebrates Latino resilience and character and shows us why we must understand America's fastest-growing minority.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atria\/Primero Sueno Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48453597724909,"sku":"9781668088968","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/files\/img_b40093b9-f49f-48c9-8770-7367651f1441.jpg?v=1753488760","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/es\/products\/latinoland-spanish-edition-un-retrato-de-la-mayor-minoria-de-estados-unidos","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
