Sobre Durmientes y Jugadores Spanish Edition. So glad I read it. Aug 09, David Fox rated it really liked it. Good additional information and some personal stories to infuse into my curriculum. A short companion book to the PBS documentary that isn't quite enough. The book is a good primer for anyone who would like to know more, but the style was off-putting.

I did feel I learned a lot: But being written by a journalist and being a companion book to the documentary just made me feel a bit confused. There are complaints about the book becoming "political" but honestly I'm not really sure why it's a problem.

It IS perhaps a bit one-sided Suarez has a section about why Latinos are not natural supporters for the Republican Party in the US but immigration and immigrants remain very topical issues that raise a lot of passion among people. And there are polls and other studies that support the author's statements. I wasn't bothered by it, but then again I also agree with the author. It wasn't a terrible book but I'm not sure it works without the documentary.

I wrote that maybe it's a good introduction to the subject but I'd also add the caveat that it needs other books to supplement this once.

So while I felt I learned a bit, it also left me wanting to know more and looking for other books on the subject. Recommend the library, in conjunction with the show that goes with it if it's available. It can be read alone but I think it needs other sources too. I'm always happy to find a book about Latin history with my library's e-books program; it's pretty rare.

Latino Americanos

This one was heavily biased -- within the first ten pages I was realizing I'd have to do some more research on my own and read with a specific lens -- but I still learned some interesting facts and enjoyed the perspective.

Suarez gives a high-level overview of the past years of the Americas, spending a good chunk of time on Spanish and American colonization of Mexico including all parts of the USA that used to be Mexico and the Caribbean. He makes some good points about what we learn as children in the US about the "settling" of US cities.

Some of the book is a bit eye-roll inducing when he bends over too far backward trying to justify extremist actions "this Latino activist did set bombs, but didn't kill anyone! He has some interesting points on immigration and the role of Latinos in the future of the US. However, near the end his structure started to unravel and it seemed to just turn into a list of Latin celebrities and sports stars. In the end I'd recommend it if choices are limited, but I'm sure there are much more well-balanced and better organized books out there.

Jun 01, Kate rated it it was amazing Shelves: Quotes I found especially important: One should not kill a wild beast in a time when one feels oneself to be a wild beast. That only made it easier to look at newcomers from Latin America with no glimmer of familiarity.

Threadbare clothing, callused hands, and nutritional diseases provoked no memory of deprivation and hard labor.

Latino immigrants, as the mania for assimilation and "Americanism" rose through the s, would get preciousl ittle sympathy from people whose own parents and grandparents faced many of the same challenges just a short time ago. As a Latina American I appreciate this book for educating me on my heritage. Though I am half-Salvadorian I learned very little about about that side of my family. What this book shows is that my experience as a Latina in America is not solely shaped by a Central American nation, but by a long history of immigration into the United States.

There have been waves of population influxes from various Latin American countries, and all of those waves have been triggered by different events. Each wave As a Latina American I appreciate this book for educating me on my heritage. Each wave has also been treated differently by the population and policy of the US.

This is a great overview of a very specific history. It's also vitally important to grasp the underlying immigration issues before tackling current policy changes. As the author says in the last pages, this nation is projected to be more and more Latino, making this history one that will eventually be seen as the shaping of a country. Oct 22, Nancy J rated it really liked it Shelves: NF chronicles the rich and varied history of Latinos, who have helped shaped our nation and have become, with more than fifty million people, the largest minority in the United States.

Author and acclaimed journalist Ray Suarez explores the lives of Latino American men and women over a five-hundred-year span, encompassing an epic range of experiences from the ear NF chronicles the rich and varied history of Latinos, who have helped shaped our nation and have become, with more than fifty million people, the largest minority in the United States. An excellent and easy to read book, highly recommended for that amorphous thing called a "general educated audience. Both authors take a radical stance: Latinos are central to the American experience.

Some of us see t An excellent and easy to read book, highly recommended for that amorphous thing called a "general educated audience. Suarez is candid in analyzing his information, clearly telling the American public that Latinos can be expected to have a much larger voice in defining American values, politics, and culture than they have in the past. He provides statistics, history, and examples of current changes to support his statements. Suarez writes in a similar manner to his television presence, with a quiet and firm voice.

I found his book a worthy read. Aug 01, Carol Buchter rated it liked it Shelves: I heard Ray Suarez speak on immigration at The Chautauqua Institution recently and thought that he was one of the very best speakers I had heard, on any topic, in a very long time. That lecture led to the decision to read his book which is a companion to the PBS documentary series on Latino Americans.

The book is well written and effectively highlights the complexity of this subject. Just a bit too "inside baseball" for my tastes. Obviously not comprehensive, given its size and scope. One of the cool things I learned from this book is that there actually were "Zoot Suit Riots" in the 's in LA between dandied up Latino youths and white soldiers and sailors. One more reason the Cherry Poppin' Daddies were overrated. Oct 03, Jen rated it liked it.

It's hard to cover years of history in less than pages, so I felt this book was a good survey of the history of Latinos in the United States. I did, however, feel there was a lack of depth to the coverage of the various topics raised in the book. I did learn things I hadn't known, even after over a decade of teaching Spanish. Oct 23, Yalman Onaran rated it liked it. A nice history of the Latinos in our midst. The early history from the s was very interesting.

When it got to recent history of the last years, it became too political and sounded like propaganda.

Jul 17, Mona Bomgaars rated it liked it Shelves: This is a companion piece to a PBS Series. It is readable but not nearly as good as hearing the author Ray Suarez speaking on similar topics. He spoke this year, in Chautuaqua's week on Immigration.
