Description

Una historia arrolladora, cuidadosamente revisada y actualizada, de la experiencia latina en Estados Unidos.
 
Es la primera reedición en diez años de este importante estudio sobre los latinos en la historia de Estados Unidos. La cosecha del imperio cubre un periodo de cinco siglos, desde las primeras colonias en el Nuevo Mundo, hasta la primera década del nuevo milenio. Hoy en día, los latinos representan el grupo minoritario más grande en Estados Unidos, y su impacto en la cultura popular del país —desde la comida, hasta el entretenimiento y la literatura— es más profundo que nunca. Con retratos de familia de pioneros latinos migrantes, así como recuentos de los eventos y condiciones que los llevaron a dejar sus patrias, La cosecha del imperio es una lectura obligada para cualquiera que desee comprender la historia y el legado de este grupo, cuya influencia va en aumento.
 
Juan González, columnista del New York Daily News, ha vivido en Estados Unidos cincuenta de sus cincuenta y un años. Sus numerosos reconocimientos incluyen el Premio George Polk en 1998 por la excelencia en el periodismo, y el premio a su trayectoria de parte de la Academia Hispánica de Artes Mediáticas y Ciencias. Nacido en Puerto Rico, creció en un barrio de multifamiliares y fue cofundador del partido Young Lords en los años sesenta. Vive en la Ciudad de Nueva York.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A sweeping history of the Latino experience in the United States-thoroughly revised and updated.

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 first New World colonies to the first decade of the new millennium. Latinos are now the largest minority group in the United States, and their impact on American popular culture-from food to entertainment to literature-is greater than ever. Featuring family portraits of real- life immigrant Latino pioneers, as well as accounts of the events and conditions that compelled them to leave their homelands, Harvest of Empire is required reading for anyone wishing to understand the history and legacy of this increasingly influential group.
