This book offers a complete overview of the contributions of U.S.
Latinos to American popular culture and examines the emergence of
the U.S. Latino identity. According to the 2010 Census, Latinos
represent more than 16 percent of the total population and are the
largest and fastest-growing minority group in the United States.
Their vast contributions to popular culture are visible in nearly
every aspect of American life and are as diverse as the countries
and cultures of origin with which Latinos identify themselves. This
book provides a historical overview of the developments in U.S.
Latino culture and highlights the most recent expressions of Latino
life in American popular culture. With coverage of topics like
Latino representations in television, radio, film, and theater;
U.S. Latino literature and art; Latino sports stars in baseball,
basketball, boxing, football, and soccer; and contemporary pop
music; this book will appeal to general readers and be a useful and
engaging resource for high school and college students. The work
examines the cultural ties that U.S. Latinos maintain with their
country of origin or that of their ancestors, explains why language
is a critical cultural marker for Latinos, and identifies how
Latinos are changing American popular culture. Insightful
information on U.S. Latino identity issues and prevalent cultural
stereotypes is also included.
