	eBook Summary "Living in Spanglish": To be Latino in the United States in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries has meant a fierce identification with roots, with forbears, with the language, art and food your people came here with. America is a patchwork of Hispanic sensibilities -- from Puerto Rican nationalists in New York to more newly arrived Mexicans in the Rio Grande valley -- that has so far resisted homogenization while managing to absorb much of the mainstream culture. Living In Spanglish delves deep into the individual's response to Latino stereotypes and suggests that their ability to hold on to their heritage, while at the same time working to create a culture that is entirely new, is a key component of America's future. In this book, Morales pins down a hugely diverse community -- of Dominicans, Mexicans, Colombians, Cubans, Salvadorans and Puerto Ricans -- that he insists has more common interests to bring it together than traditions to divide it. He calls this sensibility Spanglish, one that is inherently multicultural, and proposes that Spanglish "describes a feeling, an attitude that is quintessentially American. It is a culture with one foot in the medieval and the other in the next century."
