Ola Latina, La Audiobook Summary
En las elecciones del 2004, hubo 3 millones mas votantes hispanos que en el ano 2000. Los hispanos pusieron al presidente George W. Bush en la Casa Blanca en el 2000 y luego lo reeligieron en el 2004. Es imposible ignorar una influencia tan grande y un voto tan importante.
El cambio mas dramatico que esta viviendo este pais no tiene nada que ver con la guerra contra el terrorismo o con la economia; tiene que ver, simplemente, con la revolucion demografi ca impulsada por los latinos. Es la Ola Latina. Enel 2002 los latinos se convirtieron, ofi cialmente, en el grupo minoritario mas grande de Estados Unidos, superando los 38 millones de habitantes, cosa que no se esperaba que ocurriera hasta dentro de una decada mas. Para el ano 2125 habra mas latinos que blancos (no hispanos) en Estados Unidos. Es decir, loshispanos pasaran de minoria a mayoria. Basandose en entrevistas con los masreconocidos expertos en temas latinos y con hispanos que viven a lo largo yancho de los Estados Unidos, Ramos intenta descifrar lo que signifi ca este sorprendentecambio demografi co para todos los norteamericanos, hispanos o no, tanto en su vida diaria como en su cultura.
Con el profesionalismo, precision, y sensibilidad que lo caracteriza, Ramosnos muestra quienes son, exactamente, estos nuevos americanos, cuales son susintereses politicos y por que es importante que el resto del pais se preocupe porentender lo que es la “experiencia latina”. Quien ignore el reto de los latinos,corre el riesgo de darle la espalda al futuro de Estados Unidos.

Me encanto este libro de Ramos. Una buena fuente de información sobre los latinos en Estados Unidos. El tema central del libro es: “…es que los latinos son distinto. Sí, se están integrando rápidamente a esta sociedad—sobre todo a nivel económico y político—pero no terminaran asimilándose por completo a nivel cultural” (Prólogo, XIX). Pero no sólo eso, Ramos expande en las ideas de porque somos distintos y como los políticos nos pueden enamorar para obtener nuestro voto. Además, habla sobre nuestras diferencias entre nosotros mismos, no sólo las diferencias entre nosotros y el resto del país. Pero que al final todos los latinos nos unimos cuando hablamos de educación, trabajos, oportunidades, inmigración y pobreza. Recomiendo este libro a todos los que quieran aprender más sobre los latinos en Estados Unidos porque Ramos también explica e ilustra los beneficios de la inmigración y lo bueno que sería para el país que los millones de indocumentados obtuvieran una forma de legalizarse. Y un punto que me gustó mucho fue como los latinos están “latinizando” a Estados Unidos y como Estados Unidos está “americanizando” a los latinos. Por lo general me impresiono la forma en que Ramos presento sus ideas. En serio, recomiendo este libro.
