Harvest of Empire: A History of Latinos in America
by Juan Gonzalez
Recent attention to the significant influx of migrants from Latin America has made Americans aware of the influence Latinos have on our culture. But the history of Latinos in America, which spans over 500 years, is still a topic few Americans seem to understand or even care about. Gonzalez provides an integrated historical look at both Latin America and Latinos in the U.S. and how both contributed to and were affected by the development of American ideals and American reality.
The EFCA has some lessons to learn as it ministers to the Hispanic communities here in the U. S. This text is an excellent resource for helping your church understand the history and heritage of Latinos on our doorstep. —Steve Hudson, director of Leadership Development
