Description:"Using oral history and archival records, Hoosier Latinos: A Century of Struggle, Service, and Success recognizes the impressive lineage of Latinos in Indiana across time and space. Inclusive of both traditional and nontraditional settling destinations throughout Indiana, Hoosier Latinos takes the reader from northwest Indiana to Indianapolis and as far south as Evansville to explore how Latino Hoosiers navigated home and belonging in this midwestern state. The authors include impressive archival research to locate the Latino presence in Indiana as far back as the 1800s, presenting a profound history of Latino Hoosiers through an intensive exploration of records and delightful conversations. Weaving archival findings together with oral history narratives, Hoosier Latinos brings to light the beauty and adversity of Latinos in Indiana, centering the voices of these instrumental Hoosier families to finally give them a place at the proverbial crossroads. This book is important because it provides an invaluable look at the lives of Latinos throughout Indiana history, placing them at the center, and recognizing their contributions across the state. It also provides non-Latino Hoosiers a chance to identify and understand how their Latino neighbors became valid, equal partners in the making of Hoosier-Latino identity. This book unearths previously overlooked moments of social activism that tie Indiana to the national Chicano Civil Rights movement in the 1960s. In East Chicago, students at Washington High School joined forces with paisas in East Los Angeles to organize collective action against unfair education practices. These Latino students claimed a cultural ethnic identity as a source of pride, not as a justification for inequality. Embracing a dual sense of belonging allows Hoosier Latinos to provide a perfect jumping-off point to reexamine what makes up the Hoosier experience and who Americans recognize as contributing members of society. The meticulous attention to the record and placement of Latino Hoosiers in Indiana's timeline makes this book a must read for all Indiana residents.
