"Harvest of Empire" - Another book for Cinco de Mayo

Harvest of Empire
A History of Latinos in America
by Juan Gonzalez

Harvest of Empire - A History of Latinos in America, by Juan Gonzalez

"A profound book with an equally profound message about the origins of Latino migration, domination and colonization, and historical lessons not found in many American textbooks." —San Antonio Express-News

"Gonzalez's ever-enjoyable prose grabs the reader and fills in the gaps left by a traditional American history education." —In These Times

Spanning five hundred years—from the first New World colonies to the nineteenth-century westward expansion, from the days of gunboat diplomacy to the turn of the millennium—Harvest of Empire features family portraits of real-life immigrant Latino pioneers, as well as sketches of the political events and social conditions that compelled them to leave their homeland, and how they have transformed the nation's cultural landscape.

A sweeping narrative of the triumphs and tragedies of the Latino experience in the United States.

2001, paperback, index, bibliography, 235pp
