Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rochester region traces its roots back to pioneers like Puerto Rican Domingo Delgado, a key Eastman Kodak executive of the 1890s. Like many immigrants before them, Latinos arrived in search of the better opportunities Rochester offered and by the 1950s had an established community with churches and businesses. The 1960s and 1970s brought the development of the Latino identity and foreshadowed the growing political and economic power the community wields today. La region de Rochester tiene sus raíces en pioneros tales como el puertorriqueño Domingo Delgado, un ejecutivo de Eastman Kodak de la década de 1890. Al igual que muchos otros immigrantes antes que ellos, los latinos llegaron en busca de las mejores oportunidades que ofrece Rochester, y al llegar la década de 1950 había una comunidad establecida con iglesias y varias empresas. Los años 1960 y 1970 trajieron el desarrollo de la identidad latina y presagiaron el creciente poder político y económico que la comunidad ejerce hoy en día.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A celebration of people and pride! Explore the achievements and contributions of Latinos in the United States with this illuminating history. Latinos in the United States are a vibrant mix of people and multiple identities, each unique, varied, and accomplished. Beginning with the Spanish explorers in the sixteenth century, Latinos have been an important part of American society. They’ve fought the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and all wars in between and since, and in the last decade, their businesses have grown at twice the pace of the overall U.S. economy. The most complete and affordable single-volume reference on Latino history available today, Latino Almanac: From Columbus to Corporate America honors the history and the impact of Latinos on the United States. This hefty tome is a fascinating mix of biographies, little-known or misunderstood historical facts, and enlightening essays on significant legislation, movements, current issues, and achievements across a variety of fields, including business, labor, politics, the military, music, sports, law, media, religion, art, literature, theater, film, science, technology, and medicine. A large collection of 650 biographies includes both celebrated and lesser-known Latino stars, such as Dolores Fernández Huerta, labor leader Sonia Sotomayor, Supreme Court justice Juan Felipe Herrera, U.S. poet laureate Roberto C. Goizueta, businessperson, former CEO of Coca-Cola Selena Gómez, actor, singer, producer Rebecca Lobo, basketball player, sports analyst Anthony D. Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, U.S. congressperson Ellen Ochoa, astronaut, engineer Anthony R. Jiménez, entrepreneur María Hinojosa, journalist Dennis Chávez, U.S. senator Oscar Muñoz, businessperson, CEO United Airlines Antonia Novello, surgeon general of the United States Geraldo Miguel Rivera, journalist Lin-Manuel Miranda, playwright, actor, director Alex Rodríguez, baseball player Rodolfo Anaya, novelist Desi Arnaz, television producer, actor, singer Jessica Mendoza, sportscaster, softball player Nydia Velásquez, U.S. congressperson Edward James Olmos, actor Marco Rubio, U.S. senator Rita Moreno, actor, dancer César Chávez, labor leader Marcelo Claure, businessperson, former Sprint CEO Ariel Dorfman, playwright, novelist Miriam Colón, actress, theater owner, producer Joaquín Castro, chair of the Hispanic Congressional Caucus And many, many more! While Latinos are among both the original and newest immigrants, today the majority of U.S. Latinos were born here and most speak English—although most are bilingual to one degree or another. Their influence on the economy and culture continues to increase. Their impact on the United States has been wide-ranging. Salsa has even overtaken ketchup to become the most popular condiment in the United States! Devoted to illustrating the moving and often lost history of Latinos in America, Latino Almanac is a unique and valuable resource. Numerous photographs and illustrations, a helpful bibliography, a timeline, and an extensive index add to its usefulness. Commemorating and honoring Latino achievements, honors, and influence, this important book brings to light all there is to admire and discover about Latino Americans!

Book Synopsis Los Flamboyanes by : Nayda Pares-Kane
Download or read book Los Flamboyanes written by Nayda Pares-Kane and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation traces the national and local political context surrounding thedevelopment of Los Flamboyanes, a housing project built by and for the Puerto Ricancommunity of Rochester, NY during the Great Society era. By examining the origins of this development, I explore the structural forces in both socioeconomic and political terms that defined and shaped the use of residential space in this particular neighborhood. More importantly, it situates Rochester in the larger national context and historical analysis of the race and class politics of segregation and public housing. The Urban Renewal policies of the 1950s and 60s further exacerbated the problem ofresidential segregation that developed throughout the 20th century. Throughout the greater part of the 20th century, discrimination in the real estate market, trends in national and local economies, employment and housing discrimination, public housing policy, urban renewal, community advocacy and resistance, and national, and local politics have played active roles in defining residential space for people of color. The 1960s was a decade of advocacy and protest, and towards the latter part of thedecade, one with a distinct anti-colonial and self-determination turn in left-wing rhetoric. The War on Poverty programs such as Model Cities, Community Action and the Fair Housing Act of 1968 offered the Rochester Puerto Rican barrio an opportunity to organize and advocate for recognition and ultimately for better housing. The largest and most influential organization to represent the Latino community was the Ibero-American Action League. The barrio community developed within a solidified ghetto and Latinos shared segregated space with the Black community. The local Black Power movement provided both a model and a challenge to barrio leaders and by 1970, the League emerged from disputes with rival groups as a dominant force in the Latino community to address issues of community development. By the early 1970s, President Nixon's New Federalism and changes in place-based funding and federal housing policy led to a decline in public housing projects. It is precisely at this time in Rochester that the Puerto Rican community advocated for its own residential space and successfully createda physical marker with a unique cultural legacy. This dissertation enriches the history of Puerto Ricans, by employing the use of archival material and oral history. Through oral histories I examine why and how the community advocated for this particular residential space within the local and national politics of public housing at a time when public housing was on the decline. The oral histories reveal a complex understanding of the development of Los Flamboyanes and are essential to this historiography. For community leaders, the housing project was a victory in political recognition and self determination. For residents, the housing project provided affordable housing and a home with a connection to culture, language, and a viable community network.
Book Synopsis Barrio America by : A. K. Sandoval-Strausz
Download or read book Barrio America written by A. K. Sandoval-Strausz and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The compelling history of how Latino immigrants revitalized the nation's cities after decades of disinvestment and white flight Thirty years ago, most people were ready to give up on American cities. We are commonly told that it was a "creative class" of young professionals who revived a moribund urban America in the 1990s and 2000s. But this stunning reversal owes much more to another, far less visible group: Latino and Latina newcomers. Award-winning historian A. K. Sandoval-Strausz reveals this history by focusing on two barrios: Chicago's Little Village and Dallas's Oak Cliff. These neighborhoods lost residents and jobs for decades before Latin American immigration turned them around beginning in the 1970s. As Sandoval-Strausz shows, Latinos made cities dynamic, stable, and safe by purchasing homes, opening businesses, and reviving street life. Barrio America uses vivid oral histories and detailed statistics to show how the great Latino migrations transformed America for the better.
Book Synopsis A Call to Conscience by : Roger Craft Peace
Download or read book A Call to Conscience written by Roger Craft Peace and published by Univ of Massachusetts Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike earlier U.S. interventions in Latin America, the Reagan administration's attempt to overthrow the Sandinista government of Nicaragua during the 1980s was not allowed to proceed quietly. Tens of thousands of American citizens organized and agitated against U.S. aid to the counterrevolutionary guerrillas, known as "contras." Believing the Contra War to be unnecessary, immoral, and illegal, they challenged the administration's Cold War stereotypes, warned of "another Vietnam," and called on the United States to abide by international norms. A Call to Conscience offers the first comprehensive history of the anti?Contra War campaign and its Nicaragua connections. Roger Peace places this eight-year campaign in the context of previous American interventions in Latin America, the Cold War, and other grassroots oppositional movements. Based on interviews with American and Nicaraguan citizens and leaders, archival records of activist organizations, and official government documents, this book reveals activist motivations, analyzes the organizational dynamics of the anti?Contra War campaign, and contrasts perceptions of the campaign in Managua and Washington. Peace shows how a variety of civic groups and networks?religious, leftist, peace, veteran, labor, women's rights?worked together in a decentralized campaign that involved extensive transnational cooperation.
