Description

Over the last few decades, a wave of immigration has turned New York into a microcosm of the Americas and enhanced its role as the crossroads of the English- and Spanish-speaking worlds. Yet far from being an alien group within a “mainstream” and supposedly pure “Anglo” The us, people known as Hispanics or Latinos have been part and parcel of New York for the reason that beginning of the city’s history. They represent what Walt Whitman once celebrated as “the Spanish part of our nationality.”

Hispanic New York is the first anthology to supply a comprehensive view of this multifaceted heritage. Combining familiar materials with other selections which can be either out of print or not easily accessible, Claudio Iván Remeseira makes a compelling case for New York as a paradigm of the rustic’s Latinoization. His anthology mixes number one sources with scholarly and journalistic essays on history, demography, racial and ethnic studies, music, art history, literature, linguistics, and religion, and the authors range from historical figures, such as José Martí, Bernardo Vega, or Whitman himself, to up to date writers, such as Paul Berman, Ed Morales, Virginia Sánchez Korrol, Roberto Suro, and Ana Celia Zentella. This unique volume treats the reader to both the New York and the American experience, as reflected and transformed by its Hispanic and Latino components.
