It is one of the most important themes in Hispanic literature, and it has given rise to a specific type of literature while also defining what it means to be Hispanic in the United States. Immigrant literature uses predominantly the language of the homeland; it serves a population united by that language, irrespective of national origin; and it solidifies and furthers national identity. The literature of immigration reflects the reasons for emigrating, records?both orally and in writing?the trials and tribulations of immigration, and facilitates adjustment to the new society while maintaining links with the old society. Based on an archive assembled over the past two decades by author Nicolás Kanellos's Recovering the U. S. Hispanic Literary Heritage project, this comprehensive study is one of the first to define this body of work. Written and recorded by people from Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America, the texts presented here reflect the dualities that have characterized the Hispanic immigrant experience in the United States since the mid-nineteenth century, set always against a longing for homeland. 410 0$aJoe R. and Teresa Lozano Long series in Latin American and Latino art and culture. 606 $aAmerican literature$xHispanic American authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aImmigrants' writings, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHispanic Americans in literature 606 $aEmigration and immigration in literature 606 $aImmigrants in literature 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHispanic American authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aImmigrants' writings, American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHispanic Americans in literature. 615 0$aEmigration and immigration in literature. 615 0$aImmigrants in literature. 676 $a860.9/868073 700 $aKanellos$b Nicola?s$0952062 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781693503321 996 $aHispanic immigrant literature$93686188 997 $aUNINA
