Multiple Origins, Uncertain Destinies: Hispanics and the American Future
This book from the National Research Council looks carefully at the diverse populations encompassed by the term Hispanic, representing immigrants and their children and grandchildren from nearly two dozen Spanish-speaking countries. It describes the trajectory of the younger generations and established residents, and it projects long-term trends in population aging, social disparities, and social mobility that have shaped and will shape the Hispanic experience.
The papers that provided much of the evidence for the discussion in Multiple Origins, Uncertain Destinies: Hispanics and the American Future have been compiled in this companion volume. It presents details of the complex story of a population that varies in many dimensions, including national origin, immigration status, and generation. The papers in this volume draw on a wide variety of data sources to describe the contours of this population, from the perspectives of history, demography, geography, education, family, employment, economic well-being, health, and political engagement.
