Five Centuries of Latino History in the United States

Juan Gonzalez traces the Latino experience in the United States from European colonization of the Americas through the 2020 election. The book places individual immigrant family portraits alongside the historical forces and conditions that prompted migration from Latin American homelands. Covering culture and politics as well as migration, it frames Latino communities not as a single story but as a diverse population shaped by distinct national origins and historical circumstances. This revised edition offers a broad historical lens on how those experiences have intersected with the development of the United States.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers seeking a wide-ranging history of Latino communities in the United States
  • Students and general readers interested in Hispanic and Latino studies
  • Those interested in migration, U.S. politics, and cultural history

Book overview

A sweeping history that spans five centuries of the Latino experience in the United States--from the European colonization of the Americas to the 2020 election.

Latinos are now the largest minority group in the United States, and their impact on American culture and politics is greater than ever. With family portraits of real-life immigrant Latino pioneers, as well as accounts of the events and conditions that compelled them to leave their homelands, Gonzalez highlights the complexity of a segment of the American population that is often discussed but frequently misrepresented. This landmark history is required reading for anyone wishing to understand the history and legacy of this influential and diverse group.
