“One Hundred Questions and Answers About Hispanics and Latinos” is part of the Michigan State University School of Journalism series in cultural competence. It focuses on the diversity of the largest ethnic group in the United States. This guide has sections on Hispanic and Latino identity, geography, language, religion, social norms, politics, immigration and deportation, education, work, money, families, culture, health and food. It explains terms such as Chicano, Tejano and Texano, Boricua and deals with deportation and immigration. The guide is intended for people in business, schools, places of worship, government, medicine, law enforcement, human resources and journalism—anywhere it is important to know more about communities. We hope this guide works for individuals who just have questions about the people around them. We began by asking Hispanics and Latinos about myths, misconceptions and biases that they run into and wish others knew more about. Questions include: * What are the definitions of Hispanic and Latino? * How did Hispanic and Latino become official terms? * Are there U.S. regional or state preferences for Hispanic or Latino? * So people can be one and not the other? * What does “Latina” mean? * What do “Chicano” and “Chicana” mean? * What is the definition of Chican@? * What does Tejano mean? * What does Boricua mean? * What race are Latinos and Hispanics? * How many Hispanic people live in the United States? * What are their places of origin? * Which states have the largest Hispanic populations? * Is Puerto Rico a country, colony or commonwealth? * Why is Puerto Rico a territory and not a state or a country? * Do people living in Puerto Rico vote in U.S. elections? * Do Puerto Ricans in Puerto Rico pay U.S. taxes? * What is Hispaniola? * How prevalent is bilingualism? * What is Spanglish? * What is the English-only movement? * Are Hispanics more religious than other Americans? * Are U.S. Hispanics mostly Catholic? * Is Pope Francis the first Latin American pope? * Are Latinos generally more emotional or expressive than other Americans? * Are Latinos traditionally modest about their accomplishments? * How do Hispanics align politically? * What are top political concerns for Hispanics today? * How much weight does the Hispanic vote carry in U.S elections? * What is turnout like among Hispanics voters? * Are Hispanics represented proportionately in government? * Who are some nationally prominent Hispanic politicians? * What draws Latinos to the United States? * What are the "waves" of Latino immigration to the United States? * Are most Latinos in the United States today immigrants? * Do most Latino immigrants come to the United States legally? * What is the “DREAM Act?” * What is DACA? * What is the “Drop the I-Word” campaign? * What is a green card? * What are the difference between permanent residency and citizenship? * What are remittances? * Are Latinos profiled? * What is the average educational level of Hispanics? * Do Hispanics come to the United States for schooling? * Which colleges or universities are more welcoming to Hispanics? * Do Latinos go into business for themselves? * Do Latinos compete with Americans for jobs? * How many Latinos are in the United States without documentation? * How large is the Latino market? * How are Hispanic families structured? * How are elders regarded in Hispanic families? * Is it acceptable to date outside of one’s culture? * What are top health concerns for Latinos? * To what extent do Latinos have health insurance? * What is the “Hispanic paradox”? * How do entertainment media portray Hispanics? * What is a telenovela? * What is the Day of Three Kings? * What is Cinco de Mayo? * What is the Day of the Dead? * What is a quinceañera? * What is Tex-Mex food?

“A rich and moving chronicle for our very present.” —Julio Ortega, New York Times Book Review The United States is still typically conceived of as an offshoot of England, with our history unfolding east to west beginning with the first English settlers in Jamestown. This view overlooks the significance of America’s Hispanic past. With the profile of the United States increasingly Hispanic, the importance of recovering the Hispanic dimension to our national story has never been greater. This absorbing narrative begins with the explorers and conquistadores who planted Spain’s first colonies in Puerto Rico, Florida, and the Southwest. Missionaries and rancheros carry Spain’s expansive impulse into the late eighteenth century, settling California, mapping the American interior to the Rockies, and charting the Pacific coast. During the nineteenth century Anglo-America expands west under the banner of “Manifest Destiny” and consolidates control through war with Mexico. In the Hispanic resurgence that follows, it is the peoples of Latin America who overspread the continent, from the Hispanic heartland in the West to major cities such as Chicago, Miami, New York, and Boston. The United States clearly has a Hispanic present and future. And here is its Hispanic past, presented with characteristic insight and wit by one of our greatest historians.
