"The Other Latinos" addresses an important topic: the presence in
the United States of Latin American and Caribbean immigrants from
countries other than Mexico, Cuba, and Puerto Rico. Focusing on the
Andes, Central America, and Brazil, the book brings together essays
by a number of accomplished scholars.
Michael Jones-Correa's chapter is a lucid study of the complex
issues in posing "established" and "other," and "old" and "new" in
the discussion of Latino immigrant groups. Helen B. Marrow follows
with general observations that bring out the many facets of race,
ethnicity, and identity. Claret Vargas analyzes the poetry of
Eduardo Mitre, followed by Edmundo Paz Soldan's reflections on
Bolivians' "obsessive signs of identity." Nestor Rodriguez
discusses the tensions between Mexican and Central American
immigrants, while Arturo Arias's piece on Central Americans moves
brilliantly between the literary (and the cinematic), the
historical, and the material. Four Brazilian chapters complete the
work.
The editors hope that this introductory work will inspire
others to continue these initial inquiries so as to construct a
more complete understanding of the realities of Latin American
migration into the United States.
