Beschreibung

"Washington, DC has been a hub of Latin American immigration since the 1970s, when many people fled conflict in Central America. This community arrived to a complex, majority-African American city with a strong local culture and a legacy of racial segregation, setting the stage for a unique identity formation. Using an ethnographic approach, Amelia Tseng explores how the uniquely diverse Latinx community used language to find its place in Washington and make space for itself in a city in the midst of change. Focusing on the people, Empanadas, Pupusas, and Greens on the Side is the first book that explores the language, identity, and belonging of the Latin American community within the nation's capital"--
