Miami is the de facto capital of Latin America; it is a city where immigrants dominate, Spanish is ubiquitous, and Denny's is an ethnic restaurant. Are Miami's immigrants representative of a trend that is undermining American culture and identity? Drawing from in-depth fieldwork in the city and looking closely at recent events such as the Elián González case, This Land Is Our Land examines interactions between immigrants and established Americans in Miami to address fundamental questions of American identity and multiculturalism. Rather than focusing on questions of assimilation, as many other studies have, this book concentrates on interethnic relations to provide an entirely new perspective on the changes wrought by immigration in the United States. A balanced analysis of Miami's evolution over the last forty years, This Land Is Our Land is also a powerful demonstration that immigration in America is not simply an "us versus them" phenomenon. 606 $aImmigrants$zFlorida$zMiami$xSocial conditions 606 $aMinorities$zFlorida$zMiami$xSocial conditions 606 $aCuban Americans$zFlorida$zMiami$xSocial conditions 606 $aElite (Social sciences)$zFlorida$zMiami 606 $aPower (Social sciences)$zFlorida$zMiami 606 $aEthnic conflict$zFlorida$zMiami 607 $aMiami (Fla.)$xEthnic relations 607 $aMiami (Fla.)$xPolitics and government 607 $aMiami (Fla.)$xEconomic conditions 610 $aacculturation. 610 $aamerican culture. 610 $aamerican identity. 610 $aanthropology. 610 $acuban immigrants. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $afieldwork. 610 $aflorida. 610 $aimmigrant culture. 610 $aimmigrant experience. 610 $aimmigration issues. 610 $ainterethnic relations. 610 $ajournalism. 610 $alatin american communities. 610 $amiami. 610 $amodern history. 610 $amulticulturalism. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $apolitical. 610 $apower and wealth. 610 $aregional history. 610 $asocial sciences. 610 $asociology. 610 $aspanish. 610 $astudents and teachers. 610 $atextbooks. 610 $aunited states. 610 $aurban life. 610 $aurban studies. 615 0$aImmigrants$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aMinorities$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aCuban Americans$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aElite (Social sciences) 615 0$aPower (Social sciences) 615 0$aEthnic conflict 676 $a305.8/009759/381 700 $aStepick$b Alex, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0728521 701 $aStepick$b Alex$0728521 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807074603321 996 $aThis land is our land$94011643 997 $aUNINA
