Synopsis
The breathtaking portraits included here represent an effort to illuminate & celebrate the lives of Latinos in the U.S. Under the direction of actor & activist Edward James Olmos, more than 30 award-winning photographers fanned out across the country to capture life in Latino communities. The result is a panoramic vision of the U.S. today. With bilingual essays, poetry, & commentary from such figures as Carlos Fuentes & Maya Angelou, this book celebrates the diversity & energy of today s Latin-American community through a wealth of nationalities -- Cuban, Panamanian, Puerto Rican, Mexican, Argentinean, & others. A bold self-portrait of a people bound together by a common Latin heritage & yet as varied as America itself.
