This title takes a calendrical approach to illuminating the history
of Latinos and life in the United States and adds more value than a
simple "this day in history" through primary source excerpts and
resources for further research. Latino/a history has been
relatively slow in gaining recognition despite the population's
rich and varied history. Engaging and informative, Latino History
Day by Day: A Reference Guide to Events will help address that
oversight. Much more than just a "this-day-in-history" list, the
guide describes important events in Latino/a history, augmenting
many entries with a brief excerpt from a primary document. All
entries include two annotated books and websites as key resources
for follow up. The day-to-day reference is organized by the 365
days of the year with each day drawing from events that span
several hundred years of Latino/a history, from Mexican Americans
to Puerto Ricans to Cuban Americans. With this guide in hand,
teachers will be able to more easily incorporate Latino/a history
into their classes. Students will find the book an easy-to-use
guide to the Latino/a past and an ideal starting place for
research. Hundreds of chronologically arranged entries featuring
events and information about Latino/a history in the United States
An introduction that overviews the importance of Latino history in
a day-by-day approach A preface that explains the scope,
methodology, and rationale for coverage Primary-source excerpts for
some events and two vetted books and websites for all events
