Q • Question 1 50 out of 50 points After engaging a variety of materials with a plethora of information, I am sincerely curious about your connection - if any - to things that were brought up throughout the course. While each of us has a specific experience we call our own, that does not mean we do not have shared experiences with people we have never met. Please share what aspect of the assigned materials you found interesting because you felt a connect with what another community experienced. For example, for me, I was born in Juarez/Juaritos and raised in Chicago - during the 1980s and 1990s. So, I feel a connect to Puerto Rican folks we read about. In fact, a good friend is Puerto Rican and we grew up together. So, for me, reading about Puerto Ricans was a connect that became very real. So, share whatever you want - however you want. You don't need to be connected like I was to the reading - but let me know your thoughts about things you found interesting and connect them to your experience.

The most meaningful impact that I got from this course has been by reading the book ‘’Harvest of Empire: A History of Latinos in America’’ by Juan Gonzalez. As the chapters in the book proceeded, I felt more and more ashamed that I knew absolutely nothing about the history of Latinos in America. Later I got to know that there is a documentary by the same name directed by Peter Getzels and Eduardo Lopez. There are a number of things I found interesting in the way the book manages to showcase the history of Latin Americans in context with the relationship with Europe. The book gives a complete look into the countries like Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Cuba, Honduras, and El Salvador. It is at this point we realize that how less information we actually have about these countries. It is important to understand the process and reason for annexation in order to understand the current issue of immigration.
