Latinos are now the largest so-called minority group in the United States―the result of a growth trend that began in the mid-twentieth century―and the influence of Latin cultures on American life is reflected in everything from politics to education to mass cultural forms such as music and television. Yet very few volumes have attempted to analyze or provide a context for this dramatic historical development. The Columbia History of Latinos in the United States Since 1960 is among the few comprehensive histories of Latinos in America. This collaborative, 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 much-needed 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. While at one point it may have been considered feasible to explore the histories of national populations in isolation from one another, all of the contributors to this volume highlight the deep transnational ties and interconnections that bind different peoples across national and regional lines. Thus, each chapter on Latino national subpopulations explores the ambiguous and shifting boundaries that so loosely define them both in the United States and in their countries of origin. A multinational perspective on important political and cultural themes―such as Latino 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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Authoritative collection...wisely eschews neat conclusions. -- Cheryl Harris Sharman ― San Francisco Chronicle

The book is a valuable contribution. -- Susan J. Freiband ― American Reference Books Annual

It will become a major reference for graduate and faculty research...Highly recommended. ― Choice

This is an important and much-needed anthology of 11 essays covering various aspects of recent (1960 to present) U.S. Latino history. -- Orlando Archibeque ― Reforma Newsletter

This essay collection is informative, thought-provoking, and well-timed. ― Western Historical Quarterly

Gutiérrez provides a realistic and powerful interpretation of the Latino experience in America. This book is a must read for researchers, policymakers, community leaders, educators, and, indeed, anyone wishing to study the Latino experience and influence on American life. -- Carmen Izaguirre ― Monthly Labor Review

If you’re working or volunteering with immigrant and refugees rights groups in the US, you need to read this book! This is a critical tool for better understanding that people from so called Latin America are not homogenous, although there are many similarities within our cultures, our histories are not the same. Painting us all with a brush is dangerous as the methods of incorporation and levels of upward mobility immigrants and refugees from these regions experience in the US, varies by ones class status and politics with their country of origin. This book is great! 10/10 from an Ethnic Studies/Sociology Major.

Textbook arrived mostly undamaged; no marks and only a small bend in the corner of the cover. With the great price and wonderful collection of information, this may end up being one of the college textbooks I actually keep!
