Resumen del Editor

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A serious, significant contribution to understanding who the Hispanics of the United States are and where they came from." ( New York Times)

The amount of information.

Thank you Juan! This book should be read by everyone and I mean everyone. Should be required reading in schools. Juan did such a good job as a journalist collecting all necessary information on why things are the way they are here in the states in regards to our latino population. Excellent read.

Great!

Very informative and mind opening read. I learned more listening to this than an entire semester at college. Loved it!

Lots of information and a wealth of knowledge

I recommend this book to anybody, especially anyone trying to gain knowledge / history on Latin America, and wanting to gain knowledge on imperialism of the United States. It’s eye opening, jaw dropping, and absolutely necessary information to know no matter who you are, your background, where you come from, your political preference, etc. The knowledge shared is priceless.

Latinos experiences in U.S.

I loved this book and I am considering to recommended to my family the reader makes it very interesting like I was living in every part of the book. I got to read and listening to it because my professor required this book and I’m glad I got to read it and listening at the same time and the changes or modifications the audio have with the hard copy. Thank you for making audio possible for me and others we need to listen the books.

The best

The author does an amazing job of telling Latin American history. They focus on the history and the people, and not the conquerer or conquered. Kudos.

The real story behind Immigration

An excellent and informative analysis on how United States policy has impacted the rest of Central and South America throughout our history and the unintentional consequences that we've had to face.
The narrator has a wonderful voice and I never tired of listening to him.
