A loving and detailed celebration of a diverse, beautiful and often astounding people.\"—Laurence Gonzales, \u003cem\u003eChicago Tribune\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e They are sometimes called the people who died twice, once at the hands of the Spaniards and their brutal process of civilization, then at the hands of Anglos, practicing a subtler exploitation. They are Latinos, the fastest-growing minority in the United States. Earl Shorris's deeply moving narrative—enlivened by biographical sketches of Mexican Americans, Cuban Americans, Puerto Ricans, and many others struggling with the burden of a rich and terrible history—illuminates every aspect of the Latino experience in America, from language to education to social and political organization. \"[A] powerful, beautifully-written and thoughtful book...likely to remain unequaled in its sweep and profundity for some time to come.\"—J.
