The discussion will be led by Dr. Lauranett Lee and Rafael Hernandez Dinner will be served at 6:30 pm, followed by discussion at 7 pm in the West Room.
A sweeping history of the Latino experience in the United States.
The first new edition in ten years of this important study of Latinos in U.S. history, Harvest of Empire spans five centuries—from the European colonization of the Americas to through the 2020 election. Latinos are now the largest minority group in the United States, and their impact on American culture and politics is greater than ever. With family portraits of real-life immigrant Latino pioneers, as well as accounts of the events and conditions that compelled them to leave their homelands, Gonzalez highlights the complexity of a segment of the American population that is often discussed but frequently misrepresented. This landmark history is required reading for anyone wishing to understand the history and legacy of this influential and diverse group.
Interested participants will be able to pick up book at the Common House shortly. We will notifiy you by email when books are ready
