Book Description
In 1956, the Rosarios came to Providence and opened the first Hispanic food market in Rhode Island. This Dominican family's move signaled a new era of Latin American migration for the Ocean State. In the mid-1960s, Guatemalans came to Rhode Island as refugees from the dirty war at home, and Puerto Ricans arrived in the 1920s looking for agricultural work. From the Colombian factory workers who settled in Central Falls in the mid-1960s to the Cubans who fled Castro's revolution in the 1950s and 1960s, Latin Americans were flocking to the coastal towns and quaint neighborhoods of Rhode Island looking for brighter futures and a place to call home. Join author Marta V. Martinez as she turns a collection of oral histories into a fascinating story of the birth of Rhode Island's vibrant Latino community.

Black and Latino Public Servants history and contributions deserve to be highlighted; and celebrated. They are phenomenal servants in state and municipal institutions. The media, overall, overlooks public servants of color. Finding it to tear them down when they experience missteps in their careers and the lack of directory of such Public Servants across the state.

Book Description
Fifty Women is a compendium of the life story of fifty migrant women from Latin America and The Caribbean who migrated to the United States to play an important role in the life and development of the state of Rhode Island. Fifty Women, in addition to sharing fifty life stories, represents fifty slices of Latin American and Caribbean culture that excite and touch our hearts in a firm yet tender way. The lives of these fifty women have a common denominator: love. This is what has prompted them to leave their countries of origin in search of better horizons in a new environment. These stories will be an inspiring lever for more women, whether young, teenage or adult, to continue enriching their "journey of the soul". Cincuenta mujeres, además de ser cincuenta relatos de vida, representan cincuenta pedacitos de la identidad cultural de América Latina y El Caribe que nos recrean, emocionan y nos tocan el corazón de una manera sutil, firme y tierna. Cincuenta mujeres es una narrativa construída desde las más profundas entrañas del ser, es la hija alumbrada con verdadero dolor y con infinito amor, son las historias de vida de estas incomparables mujeres, en cuyos rostros se refleja la sabiduría, la constancia y la tenacidad, hilos con los que se ha ido tejiendo una colorida manta con la que ha cubierto, protegido, y enaltecido el Estado de Rhode Island. Estoy completamente segura que cuando lean estos relatos lo disfrutarán y será la palanca inspiradora para que más mujeres, niñas, jóvenes y adultas sigan enriqueciendo este "viaje del alma".

Latinos in New England
Author: Andres Torres
Publisher: Temple University Press
ISBN: 1592134173
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
More than one million Latinos now live in New England. This is the first book to examine their impact on the region's culture, politics, and economics. At the same time, it investigates the effects of the locale on Latino residents' lives, traditions, and institutions.Employing methodologies from a variety of disciplines, twenty-one contributors explore topics in three broad areas: demographic trends, migration and community formation, and identity and politics. They utilize a wide range of approaches, including oral histories, case studies, ethnographic inquiries, focus group research, surveys, and statistical analyses. From the "Dominicanization" of the Latino community in Waterbury, Connecticut, to the immigration experiences of Brazilians in Massachusetts, from the influence of Latino Catholics on New England's Catholic churches to the growth of a Latino community in Providence, Rhode Island, the essays included here contribute to a new and multifaceted view of the growing Pan-Latino presence in the birthplace of the United States.
