A sweeping history of the Latino experience in the United States. The first new edition in ten years of this important study of Latinos in U.S. history, Harvest of Empire spans five centuries—from the European colonization of the Americas to through the 2020 election.

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.

Significant changes in New York City's Latino community have occurred since the first edition of Latinos in New York: Communities in Transition was published in 1996. The Latino population in metropolitan New York has increased from 1.7 million in the 1990s to over 2.4 million, constituting a third of the population spread over five boroughs. Puerto Ricans remain the largest subgroup, followed by Dominicans and Mexicans; however, Puerto Ricans are no longer the majority of New York's Latinos as they were throughout most of the twentieth century. Latinos in New York: Communities in Transition, second edition, is the most comprehensive reader available on the experience of New York City's diverse Latino population. The essays in Part I examine the historical and sociocultural context of Latinos in New York. Part II looks at the diversity comprising Latino New York. Contributors focus on specific national origin groups, including Ecuadorians, Colombians, and Central Americans, and examine the factors that prompted emigration from the country of origin, the socioeconomic status of the emigrants, the extent of transnational ties with the home country, and the immigrants' interaction with other Latino groups in New York. Essays in Part III focus on politics and policy issues affecting New York's Latinos. The book brings together leading social analysts and community advocates on the Latino experience to address issues that have been largely neglected in the literature on New York City. These include the role of race, culture and identity, health, the criminal justice system, the media, and higher education, subjects that require greater attention both from academic as well as policy perspectives.

Abstract: In the Latino/a community the drop-out rate has been very high not only in the states that have been traditionally known for a significant Latino/a population, but also in states with new Latino immigrants like Ohio. Therefore, this is a national problem, which requires we find effective ways of reaching out to the Latino/a population. In relation to new technologies, there are factors that indicate that Latinos/as in this country are experiencing the impact of the long and complex "digital divide". Problems of connectivity and real physical access to these new technologies still exist. In the last decade, information communication technologies like the cellular phone, the computer and the Internet have started to affect the way people communicate, the way they learn, and the way they do business. In this context, this qualitative study attempts to add insights to the understanding of how young Latinas immigrants access and use new information communication technologies in their lives, affects their sense of identity, success in school, role in the workplace, and communication networks. In interviews and observations with twelve Latina high school students and four teachers from a public school in Columbus, Ohio, the participants were asked to share their views and experiences in relation to new information technologies. The research data were analyzed using N.U.D.I.S.T, a qualitative analysis tool. Some of the findings include the importance of access and type of technology available with the capacity of connectivity, involvement and uses in the lives of Latinas. In relation to the construction of identity in cyberspace, they consistently changed their names and sometimes, nationality, age and gender. Additionally, Spanish and English languages differ when finding school information or communicating in the web, and some uses of ICTs by my participants include: study, gathering information, communication and entertainment. I hope these findings contribute to our understanding of the "digital divide" and the Latinos/as involvement with new technology and will motivate future research in this interesting area of work.
