"Latinoland: A Portrait of America's Largest and Least Understood Minority"  by Marie Arana.  

Maria Arana is a bestselling author, historian,  and former book editor of the Washington  Post, and is also the inaugural Literary Director of the Library of Congress, living both in Washington, DC and Lima, Peru. In LATINOLAND, she offers a sweeping personal portrait of the largest racial and ethnic minority in the United States. “Latinos” were some of the earliest residents of what is now known as the U.S.  Far from being a single group, they are White, Black, Indigenous, and Asian; they are domestic workers, day laborers, successful artists, corporate CEOs, and US senators.  Once overwhelmingly Catholic, they are increasingly Protestant and Evangelical. Once primarily Democratic, many now vote Republican. In LATINOLAND, Arana tells stories that often go ignored, encapsulating Latinos’ “grand diversity that defies any one label.”
