IMMIGRATION AND NATIONAL IDENTITIES IN LATIN AMERICA
Author: Edited by Nicola Foote and Michael Goebel
Publisher: University of Florida Press
Paperback ISBN: 978-0813060002
Between the mid-nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries, an influx of Europeans, Asians, and Arabic speakers indelibly changed the face of Latin America. This volume addresses how the newcomers helped construct national identities in the Caribbean, Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil.
Some of the most respected scholars of migration history examine the range of responses--some welcoming, some xenophobic--to the newcomers. They also look at the lasting effects that Jewish, German, Chinese, Italian, and Syrian immigrants had on the economic, sociocultural, and political institutions.
MIGRANTS AND POLITICAL CHANGE IN LATIN AMERICA
Author: Luis F. Jiménez
Publisher: University of Florida Press
Paperback ISBN: 978-1683400370
This book reveals how migrants shape the politics of their countries of origin, drawing on research from Mexico, Colombia, and Ecuador and their diasporas, the three largest in Latin America. Luis Jiménez discusses the political changes that result when migrants return to their native countries in person and also when they send back new ideas and funds—social and economic “remittances”—through transnational networks.
Jiménez also draws attention to government services that would not exist without the influence of migrants.

Author: Craig Allen
Publisher: University of Florida Press

Using archival sources and original interviews to reconstruct power struggles and behind-the-scenes intrigue, Allen uses this exciting narrative to question monolingual and Anglo-centered versions of U.S. television history. He demonstrates the endurance, innovation, and popularity of Spanish-language television, arguing that its story is essential to understanding the Latinx history of contemporary America.
