Rodolfo F. Acuña, ed., Guadalupe Compeán

0-313-34020-X/978-0-313-34020-8

Description
This is the largest collection of documents pertaining to the history and experience of the diverse groups of Latinos in the United States.

Reviews:
-"Because other resources in this subject tend toward dated bibliographies and indexes and because reference treatments of Latinos are often grouped in larger reference works on ethnic groups in America, this set fills a gap....Recommended for academic and large public libraries." —Library Journal
-"The editors of this documentary history of Latinos in the United States have done an extraordinary job of connecting the Latino experience to mainstream American history." —Lawrence Looks at Books
-"With its large number of documents, 'Voices of the U.S. Latino Experience' is unique. For academic and large public libraries with Latino collections." —Booklist
-"Selections with an exclusive Hispanic origin allow readers to recognize that Latinos were not passive bystanders of events around them. Indeed, many of these writers undertook initiatives themselves to adjust to, or defy, prevailing conditions. These circumstances range from incorporation into the United States to the struggle for improved working conditions... The observations made by the many writers reveal keen minds which facilitate insight into the Latino experience that has largely been ignored by non-Hispanic academics. These volumes will help correct that deficiency." —MultiCultural Review
-"This three-volume set presents a diverse collection of primary and secondary resources that examine the role ofLatinos in the US from 1648 to 2007. Voices includes letters, memoirs, speeches, essays, interviews, treaties, reports,oral histories, and other documents....Voices provides a wealth of historical, political, and socioeconomic information that will illuminate crucial stories of Latinos and other ethnic groups within the US...Highly recommended. Lower-level undergraduates and above; general readers." —CHOICE
