What is Hispanic Americans : the reference shelf about?

"Like any racial or ethnic category, the designation Hispanic American often obscures more than it reveals, blurring distinctions between races, languages, economic classes, and countries of orgin. Indeed, the term can describe a person with white, black, indigenous, or mixed ancestry; a Spanish, English, or Guarani speaker; a Cuban exile in Miami, a Mexican American in Southern California, or a Dominican in New York City. Given the sheer breadth of this diversity, any analysis that proposes to present a complete picture of the Hipanic-American community will likely come up short. Nevertheless, the articles contained in this collection were chosen to provide as accurate and full a portrait of the American Latino as possible, combining the demographic figures--the hard numbers--with a more personal exploration of the cultural aspects of the community."--Book preface
