Latino USA, Revised Edition: A Cartoon History

A great way to learn the American History that your educators refused to cover. This book covers important parts of American History involving both Hispanics and Latin@s. While they don't go over every single detail that happens, they do cover enough to give you the motivation to go out and learn more about the other side of America.Here are the chapters of the book, as well as some of my favorite topics mentioned within them:P1: Conquest and Exploration 1492-1890• The cruelties of the Holy Church• Forget the Alamo• The Guadalupe Hidalgo Treaty• Border bylaws and outlawsP2: Into the Cauldron 1891-1957• Our good neighbor policy• Miguel Antonio Otero rules• Viva Zapata!• Hispanophobia: The MovieP3: Upheaval 1958-1977• Here comes FIdel Castro• Bilingual Education is born• Rodolfo "Corky" Gonzalez also raises the myth of Aztlan• Cesar Chavez's hunger• Triumphs and Tribulations of the Chicano MovementP4: In Search of a Mainstream 1978-1998• Central America on fire!• Comprendes Español? The English only movement• Bilingual NationP5: Welcome to Gringolandia 1998-Mañana (tomorrow)• Patriotism and its Discontents• Dreamers Act• The making of Latino USA• Fear and Racial profiling in ArizonaThese topics and more are covered in the book. Anyone and everyone who is a part of, or wants to learn more about, Hispanic/Latin@ culture should go out and buy this book!

I have a grandson who is an eighth grader, who also did Spanish immersion when he was kindergarten through sixth grade. I thought this format would be a great way to teach Latino history to my very Anglo-Saxon grandson. I think this is a good book for anybody.

I had to buy this book for an english class and i really didn't think much of it because i was required to read it. after finishing it i can tell you i won't be selling it back. it really is a great book and i think the author does a great job of pretty much summarizing the history of latinos in the US. great read. i would recommend to anyone.

I bought this for a graphic novel book club for adults, the subject was on Latino Comics [Latino USA: A Cartoon History]. Its a good book if you want read the history of how the cultural aspects of Spain reached the New World to how Mexico and the rest of the Central American nations have shaped the world and how their culture reaches the USA.

As a college student, I love the information and the illustrations make learning of the history painless and easy to follow. The shipping was rather fast. Book was in good conditions. Over highly recommend. Great read for all people.

The mezcla of the cartoons of Lalo Alcaraz (of the comic strip La Cucaracha) and the scholarship of Ilan Stavans creates a lively and informative overview of the history of US Latinos, cleverly incorporating traditional Latino theatrical characters and symbols as the storytellers. The book is great fun to read; its format makes it accessible to readers of all ages, and anyone fuzzy about the role Latinos have played in US history and culture during the past 500 years or so should RUSH to buy it.

just like new!

I'm in the "Ilan Stavans Fan Club," so I purchase all his stuff, and I have not been disappointed yet.
