  1. 1. Harvest Of Empire

    A History of Latinos in America

    A sweeping historical analysis that links contemporary Latino immigration to the United States with decades of U.S. political, military, and economic intervention in Latin America and the Caribbean, arguing that conquest, corporate exploitation, Cold War interventions, and neoliberal policies uprooted communities and created the conditions for mass migration; the book traces specific episodes — wars, coups, land seizures, trade agreements, and U.S.-backed regimes — across Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and South America, and combines archival research, interviews, and journalism to show how U.S. demand for labor, immigration law, and media portrayals have shaped migrants’ experiences and obscured responsibility for the exodus.
