THE COMPANION BOOK TO THE PBS DOCUMENTARY SERIES
Latino Americans chronicles the rich and
varied history of Latinos, who have helped shaped our nation
and have become, with more than fifty million people, the
largest minority in the United States. This companion to the
landmark PBS miniseries vividly and candidly tells how the
story of Latino Americans is the story of our country.
Author and acclaimed journalist Ray Suarez explores
the lives of Latino American men and women over a
five-hundred-year span, encompassing an epic range of
experiences from the early European settlements to Manifest
Destiny; the Wild West to the Cold War; the Great Depression
to globalization; and the Spanish-American War to the civil
rights movement.
Latino Americans shares
the personal struggles and successes of immigrants, poets,
soldiers, and many others—individuals who have made an
impact on history, as well as those whose extraordinary
lives shed light on the times in which they lived, and the
legacy of this incredible American people.
