About this listen

The first new edition in 10 years of this important study of Latinos in US 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 listening for anyone wishing to understand the history and legacy of this increasingly influential group.

Critic reviews

"A serious, significant contribution to understanding who the Hispanics of the United States are and where they came from." ( New York Times)
All stars
Most relevant
Democracy Now’s Amazing Juan Gonzalez gives full/robust history and the massive contribution of Latinos in the Americans. As a born and bred Brit this book provided me so much new information from the brith, rise of Latinos from the 15th century; to the modern Imperial US take over and abuses of the Latino people in the 19/20th centuries. Extremely detailed throughout with an excellent conclusion on the future. Just like his journalism this book is 10/10.
