[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing Gonzalez’ and Flores’ works on Latinos in the United States. Juan Gonzalez’ “Harvest of Empire: A History of Latinos in America” (2000) and Juan Flores’ “From Bomba to Hip-Hop: Puerto Rican Culture and Latino Identity” (2000) address several issues relating to Hispanics in the United States and in turn the affect the United States has on Latin America, Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean countries in regards to free trade agreements. Gonzalez addresses among other issues the barriers encountered by Latinos to fully participate in the U.S. political system, the myths portraying Latino immigration as a burden to the government, and the impact of the free trade zones. Flores provides an extensive coverage of the Puerto Rican experience in the United States including the feeling of cultural hybridity. Together these two authors have provided an important collection of material needed in the study and understanding of the extensive population and multicultural issues which relate to Latinos and the United States.
