EXTRA POSTAGE FOR INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL OUTSIDE EUROPE OTHERWISE WILL GO SURFACE MAIL Synopsis Results of the 2000 US Census indicate that the Hispanic-American population is among the fastest growing in the United States.

An updated bibliography, lists for further reading, and subject indexes - organized by year of birth, country of heritage/ethnic group, and profession - offer a detailed portrait of over 500 years of achievement. Profiles include: Lourdes G. Baird, judge; Ramon Cortines, educator; Francisco Dallmeier, scientist; Jennifer Lopez, actress and singer; Jorge Mas Canosa, activist; Cherrie Moraga, writer; Sammy Sosa, baseball player; and Gary Soto, writer.
