Our America by Felipe Fernndezarmesto
An eminent scholar finds a new American history in the Hispanic past of our diverse nation.
"With a lucid, engaging style, [Fernandez-Armesto] seeks to understand the continuity between the Spanish colonization and the fight for justice led by the Chicano movement in the sixties and by immigration advocates today..This is an invitation to look at America in full!" -- Ilan Stavans, general editor of The Norton Anthology of Latino History "In enviably lyrical prose, Felipe Fernandez-Armesto has written a bold and compelling synthesis of our nation's Hispanic past, from the Spanish arrival in the late fifteenth century to the current and contentious debate over immigration reform. Marshaling famous and forgotten individuals and events, he reminds us that there is much more to America's story than simply Massachusetts Pilgrims and Virginia Cavaliers." -- Andrew R. Graybill, director, Clements Center for Southwest Studies, Southern Methodist University "A rich and moving chronicle ... Perhaps the first history to make the case for this nation's becoming a bright Latin American country." -- Julio Ortega "Exceedingly well-written and engaging." -- Hector Tobar "Triumphantly rescues Hispanic America from obscurity." "A valuable contribution to those seeking a broader understanding of U.S. history." -- Janet Napolitano
