Latinization of America: How Hispanics Are Changing the Nation's Sights and Sounds

Latinization of America provides a contemporary overview of the Hispanic population' s cultural impact in the United States. The author— a managing editor of Billboard magazine— explores the growth this community has on show business development as well as on the Spanish-speaking entertainment industry. Focusing on music, radio, TV, film, theater, dance, and sports— while also considering economic and political factors— the author tracks developments over the first decade of this century. Encompassing the various groups of immigrants who create new vistas of opportunity for both Spanish-speaking and mainstream entrepreneurs, this volume highlights the crossover and integration of Hispanics into competitive mainstream show business— and the rush by Anglo companies to grab their piece of the Latin pie.
