| Summary: | This interdisciplinary edited volume of thirteen essays presents a broad look at the Central American experience in the United States with a focus on southern California. By examining oral histories, art, poetry and community formation, the contributors fill a void in the scholarship on the multiple histories, experiences and forms of resistance of Central American groups in the United States. The contributors provide new research on the 1.5 generation and beyond and how the transnational dynamics manifest in California, home to one of the largest U.S. Central American populations. |
