The history of Latino immigration to the US is at once a political can of worms and a rich cultural tapestry. The links between immigration and US policies in Latin America are documented and as Latino numbers grow, their effect on American culture and domestic policy is no longer confined to border towns. Salsa now outsells ketchup and bilingual education and citizenship issues are currently hot political topics.
Gonzalez is an award-winning journalist and author of Harvest of Empire: A History of Latinos in America. In this interview by David Barsamian, he gives us a lesson on US-Puerto Rican relations and details some of his experience as a young immigrant from Puerto Rico.
