The Latina/o population is the fastest growing racial/ethnic group in the United States. No longer confined to the Southwest and cities like New York and Miami, Latina/os are moving to other locations throughout the country, especially the South and Midwest. Though Latina/os have become a visible and integral part of U.S. society, many Americans lack a comprehensive understanding of the experiences and issues of this highly diverse population.
