Описание: As the largest and youngest minority group in the United States, the 60 million Latinos living in the U.S. represent the second-largest concentration of Hispanic people in the entire world, after Mexico. Needless to say, the population of Latinos in the U.S. is causing a shift, not only changing the demographic landscape of the country, but also impacting national culture, politics, and spoken language. While Latinos comprise a diverse minority group -- with various religious beliefs, political ideologies, and social values-commentators on both sides of the political divide have lumped Latino Americans into a homogenous group that is often misunderstood. Latinos in the United States: What Everyone Needs to Know(R) provides a wide-ranging, multifaceted exploration of Latino American history and culture, as well as the forces shaping this minority group in the U.S. From exploring the origins of the term "Latino" and examining what constitutes Latin America, to tracing topical issues like DREAMers, the mass incarceration of Latino males, and the controversial relationship between Latin America and the United States, Ilan Stavans seeks to understand the complexities and unique position of Latino Americans. Throughout he breaks down the various subgroups within the Latino minority (Mexican-Americans, Dominican-Americans, Cuban-Americans, Puerto Ricans on the mainland, and so on), and the degree to which these groups constitute -- or don't -- a homogenous community, their history, and where their future challenges lie. Stavans, one of the world's foremost authorities on global Hispanic civilization, sees Latino culture as undergoing dramatic changes as a result of acculturation, changes that are fostering a new "mestizo" identity that is part Hispanic and part American. However, Latinos living in the United States are also impacting American culture. As Ilan Stavans argues, no other minority group will have a more decisive impact on the future of the United States.

Автор: David F. Damore, John Tuman, Nerses Kopalyan, Tiffany Howard Название: Latinos in Nevada: A Political, Economic, and Social Profile ISBN: 1948908980 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781948908986 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 40650.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: Throughout history, the Latinx population has contributed substantially to Nevada`s mining, railroad, farming, ranching, and tourism industries. Latinos in Nevada provides a comprehensive analysis of this fastest-growing and diverse ethnic group, exploring the impact of the Hispanic/Latinx population on the Silver State in the past, present, and future.
Latinos constitute the fastest-growing and largest ethnic minority in the United States, yet less than one percent of network news coverage deals with Latinos as the focus of a story. Out of that one percent, even fewer stories are positive in either content or tone. Author of the acclaimed Brown Tide Rising: Metaphors of Latinos in Contemporary American Public Discourse, Otto Santa Ana has completed a comprehensive analysis of this situation, blending quantitative research with semiotic readings and ultimately applying cognitive science and humanist theory to explain the repercussions of this marginal, negative coverage.
Santa Ana’s choice of network evening news as the foundation for Juan in a Hundred is significant because that medium is currently the single most authoritative and influential source of opinion-generating content. In his 2004 research, Santa Ana calculated that among approximately 12,000 stories airing across four networks (ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC), only 118 dealt with Latinos, a ratio that has remained stagnant over the past fifteen years. Examining the content of the stories, from briefs to features, reveals that Latino-tagged events are apparently only broadcast when national politics or human calamity are involved, and even then, the Latino issue is often tangential to a news story as a whole. On global events involving Latin America, U.S. networks often remain silent while BBC correspondents prepare fully developed, humanizing coverage. The book concludes by demonstrating how this obscurity and misinformation perpetuate maligned perceptions about Latinos. Santa Ana’s inspiring calls for reform are poised to change the face of network news in America.

Описание: Hollywood films often "cue" Latin American audiences to interpret media texts in ways that would not be fully appreciated by a U.S. audience. For example, in 1952 a U.S. audience seeing High Noonwould have watched as the lawman "Will Kane," Gary Cooper, stood alone and defended a town of righteous cowards as a matter of principle. They might have connected the scenario with the struggle against McCarthyism (1950-1954) that was ongoing. In contrast, the majority of Latin American viewers unfamiliar with McCarthyism might simply have seen the film on a "mythic" level as a struggle between good and evil. But Latin American audiences would have also noticed the first time a Mexican woman, "Helen Ramirez," played by Katy Jurado, was on equal or superior moral footing with the white woman "Amy Fowler," Grace Kelly. In the film it was Helen who gave Amy a lesson on how to stand by her man Kane. Films about Latino life, argue authors Chad Tew and John Marambio, reveal symptoms of the crisis behind the ongoing national debate about immigration in the United States. The idea of 'Paradise' is the primary meta-narrative used to construct the United States in Hollywood films. In Clash in Paradise, the authors show how these films simultaneously contain conflicting narratives about human movement across borders and the struggle over who has the right to live in paradise. These conflicting narratives within Hollywood films result in a sense of confusion and misunderstanding that runs between both communities.The authors conceptualize how communication between ethnic and cultural communities can be achieved through movies and other popular culture media, such as crossover Latino music, and the reasons why sometimes communities fail to understand the others' point of view. Clash in Paradise provides a timely and incisive overview of the myriad ways in which portrayals of Latino life in Hollywood films impact upon the realities of life in the US for immigrants.

Описание: Latinos have emerged as one of the fastest-growing ethnic populations in the American South. A 'New South' is taking shape in a region where culture and class relations have traditionally been constructed along black-white divides and experience absorbing culturally or linguistically foreign immigrants has been limited. This book presents a multidisciplinary examination of the impacts and responses across the Southeastern United States to contemporary Latino immigration. The rapid and large-scale movement of Latinos into the region has challenged old precepts and forced Southerners to confront the impacts of globalization and transnationalism in their daily lives. Drawing on theoretical perspectives as well as empirical research, the work provides insights into the Latino experience in both urban and rural locales. Each chapter is centred on the nexus between the immigrants' experiences in settling and adapting to new lives in the American South and the construction of transformed social, economic, political and cultural spaces.
