The first new edition in 10 years of this important study of Latinos in US history, Harvest of Empire spans five centuries - from the first New World colonies to the first decade of the new millennium. Latinos are now the largest minority group in the United States, and their impact on American popular culture - from food to entertainment to literature - is greater than ever. Featuring family portraits of real-life immigrant Latino pioneers, as well as accounts of the events and conditions that compelled them to leave their homelands, Harvest of Empire is required listening for anyone wishing to understand the history and legacy of this increasingly influential group.

Editorial Review

Harvest of Empire: A History of Latinos in America is a history book with a difference. This powerful audiobook teaches you what you didn’t learn in school about Latino immigration to the United States. Juan Gonzalez pulls the curtain on how U.S. foreign policy has impacted countries in South and Central America.
This audiobook is written by the American reporter and journalist Juan Gonzalez, a Puerto Rico-born American. Gonzalez is the co-host of the long-running American news show Democracy Now! The Audie Award-winning narrator Robert Fass tells the story and sets the right tone for this educational yet moving listen.
The novel inspired the 2012 award-winning documentary film Harvest of Empire: The Untold Story of Latinos in America, directed by Peter Getzels and Eduardo López. It features inspiring interviews with the Nobel Prize winner Rigoberta Menchú, poet Martin Espada, writer Junot Diaz, and journalist Maria Hinojosa.
Writer Juan Gonzalez explores the history of various groups in the Latino community, including Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Central Americans, and more. Harvest of Empire delves into how the Spanish-speaking countries south of the U.S. border have been oppressed and colonized over time.
Harvest of Empire: A History of Latinos in America is an essential listen for anyone wanting to expand their knowledge of Latin American history and imperialism in U.S. history. It uncovers key events and foreign policy that affected relations between the United States and Central America, South America, and the Caribbean and their impact on Hispanic people around the world. —Audible Latino Editor.

I’m listening to this for school. The only reason I realized a chapter was missing was that the chapter title in the recording differed from the homework module. The chapters aren’t titled in the outline. I’m glad I didn’t pay for this book. The only reason it isn’t messing up my grade is because the professor was nice enough to give me an extension on my assignment. I don’t even know if I want to continue using Audible.

Missing a chapter

Thank you Juan! This book should be read by everyone and I mean everyone. Should be required reading in schools. Juan did such a good job as a journalist collecting all necessary information on why things are the way they are here in the states in regards to our latino population. Excellent read.

The amount of information.

I recommend this book to anybody, especially anyone trying to gain knowledge / history on Latin America, and wanting to gain knowledge on imperialism of the United States. It’s eye opening, jaw dropping, and absolutely necessary information to know no matter who you are, your background, where you come from, your political preference, etc. The knowledge shared is priceless.

Lots of information and a wealth of knowledge

I loved this book and I am considering to recommended to my family the reader makes it very interesting like I was living in every part of the book. I got to read and listening to it because my professor required this book and I’m glad I got to read it and listening at the same time and the changes or modifications the audio have with the hard copy. Thank you for making audio possible for me and others we need to listen the books.

The author does an amazing job of telling Latin American history. They focus on the history and the people, and not the conquerer or conquered. Kudos.
