SUMMARY:Marie Arana
DESCRIPTION:Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle — LatinoLand: A Portrait of America’s Largest and Least Understood Minority by Marie Arana \nLatinoLand is an exceptional\, all-encompassing overview of Hispanic America based on personal interviews\, deep research\, and Marie Arana’s life experience as a Latina. At present\, Latinos comprise twenty percent of the US population\, a number that is growing. By 2050\, census reports project that one in every three Americans will claim Latino heritage.  \nBut Latinos are not a monolith. They do not represent a single group. The largest groups are Mexicans\, Puerto Ricans\, Dominicans\, Salvadorans\, and Cubans. Each has a different cultural and political background. As LatinoLand shows\, Latinos were some of the earliest immigrants to what is now the US—some of them arriving in the 1500s. They are racially diverse—a random infusion of white\, Black\, indigenous\, and Asian. Once overwhelmingly Catholic\, they are becoming increasingly Protestant and Evangelical. They range from domestic workers and day laborers to successful artists\, corporate CEOs\, and US senators. Formerly solidly Democratic\, they now vote Republican in growing numbers. They are as culturally varied as any immigrants from Europe or Asia.  \nMarie Arana draws on her own experience as the daughter of an American mother and Peruvian father who came to the US at age nine\, straddling two worlds\, as many Latinos do. “Thorough\, accessible\, and necessary” (Ms. magazine)\, LatinoLand unabashedly celebrates Latino resilience and character and shows us why we must understand the fastest-growing minority in America.  \nMarie Arana was born in Lima\, Peru. She is the author of the memoir American Chica\, a finalist for the National Book Award; two novels\, Cellophane and Lima Nights; the prizewinning biography Bolivar; Silver\, Sword\, and Stone\, a narrative history of Latin America; The Writing Life\, a collection from her well-known column for The Washington Post; and LatinoLand\, an exceptional\, all-encompassing overview of Hispanic Americans. She is the inaugural Literary Director of the Library of Congress and lives in Washington\, DC\, and Lima\, Peru.
