Two prominent terms, 'Latino' and 'Hispanic,' refer to people living in the United States who have roots in Latin America, Spain, Mexico, South America, or Spanish-speaking Caribbean countries.

The United States condoned dictatorships in Latin America for much of the 20th century.

It seems to be Latin American destiny to always have the United States say 'amen.

Spanglish is the encounter: perhaps the word is marriage or divorce of English and Spanish, but also of Anglo and Hispanic civilizations - not only in the United States but in the entire continent and, perhaps, also in Spain.

Anyone who pretends to "understand" Latin America is a fool.

The people of the United States will do anything for Latin America, except read about it.
