Latino Minnesota

While Minnesota is well known for its immigrants from Norway, Sweden, and Germany; it is less well known for Spanish-speaking immigrants from Mexico and Latin America. This book fills a gap in that history. It describes diverse Latino communities in the state from around 1910 to the present, and includes information on community leaders, as well as political and social issues. Written by Leigh Roethke, the book also has excellent illustrations to enhance the text. Personally, I learned a lot by reading it, and I'm a Minnesota native. It's an excellent resouce for social studies classes.
