Description
An accessible introduction to one of the largest and fastest-growing Hispanic communities in the United States.
With more than 2.5 million people of Salvadoran descent living in the United States, Salvadoran Americans are an important part of the nation's social, cultural, and economic landscape. This volume explores the historical roots of migration from El Salvador and examines the diverse experiences of Salvadoran Americans across generations.
Beginning with the history of El Salvador and patterns of immigration to the United States, the book examines cultural traditions, religious practices, language, foodways, family life, education, gender roles, and economic experiences. It also addresses issues of assimilation, representation, and social equality while highlighting the contributions of Salvadoran Americans in media, the arts, public life, and community organizations.
Featuring profiles of notable individuals and institutions, this volume provides readers with a deeper understanding of Salvadoran American identity and the ways in which this community continues to shape contemporary American society.
