Address the diversity of the latino/hispanic experiences and realities in the USA. In particular, I focus on the diversity of the Mexican American realities in the state of Texas. A distinct group in the imagined national community.
The US Census Bureau (2010) defines the label Hispanic or Latino in the following way:
“Hispanic or Latino” refers to a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race. (2)
In 1990 the definition of the Census Bureau was different:
"A person is of Spanish/Hispanic origin if the person's origin (ancestry) is Mexican, Mexican-American, chicano, Puerto Rican, Dominican, Ecuadoran, Guatemalan, Honduran, Nicaraguan, Peruvian, Salvadoran; from other Spanish-speaking countries of the Caribbean or Central or South America; or from Spain."
