Excerpt from List of Works for the Study of Hispanic-American History Spanish and local, and based upon them, there has appeared a long list of scholarly publications, marked by rigorous method and sound judgment. In the United States there has been a steadily increasing interest in Hispanic - American history since 1898 and the last five years in particular have witnessed an extraordinary development in teaching and investigation in the field. The first desideratum of the serious stu dent in any subject is some sort of biblio graphical guide. NO one has undertaken work in the field of Hispanic - American history without feeling the handicap which the lack of such a guide imposes upon him, for it has been necessary for each investi gator to build up, from the beginning, his bibliographical apparatus. It is to meet this need, to provide, if not a complete bibliography, at least a list which may serve as a basis for an eventual definitive work, that the present work has been com piled.

A sweeping history of the Latino experience in the United States. 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 European colonization of the Americas to through the 2020 election. Latinos are now the largest minority group in the United States, and their impact on American culture and politics is greater than ever. With family portraits of real-life immigrant Latino pioneers, as well as accounts of the events and conditions that compelled them to leave their homelands, Gonzalez highlights the complexity of a segment of the American population that is often discussed but frequently misrepresented. This landmark history is required reading for anyone wishing to understand the history and legacy of this influential and diverse group.
