Hispanics today make up 15% of the US population, with close to 45 million in numbers. Hispanic presence in public office is increasingly prominent, and specialists forecast an even more promising future for this growing minority: by the year 2050, Hispanics will have surpassed the 130 million mark, transforming the US into the largest Spanish-speaking country in the world. The Encyclopedia of Spanish in the US offers detailed analyses of the past, present, and future of Spanish and Hispanic culture in the US, highlighting the demolinguistic reality of the diverse Spanish-speaking groups living in the US. Attention is also drawn to the vast cultural wealth of the Hispanic community, which has driven artistic creations that today hold a preeminent position in the country’s cultural landscape. Its 80+ specialized articles cover historical, demographic and legal aspects that, among others, provide information on the teaching, translating, editing, mass media, linguistic analyses, cultural activities, and literary production of this rising minority. This comprehensive outlook on the role that the Hispanic community plays in the US reveals the keys to understanding the present and promoting the future of our language and culture in this country. This never-before published outline includes over 170 photographs, and more than 190 maps, graphs and tables.

    En 2008, la población de hispanos en los Estados Unidos alcanzó la cifra de más de 45 millones, aproximadamente un 15% de la población total, superando los pronósticos de la Oficina del Censo de los Estados Unidos (OCEU) para el 2010. Hoy en día los hispanos representan un 16% de la población. Los cálculos demográficos aproximan que la población hispanohablante estadounidense será de más de 132 millones en 2050 y, de cumplirse, los Estados Unidos serán el país con mayor número de hablantes de español en el mundo. Según las proyecciones de la OCEU 2050, los hispanos podrían llegar a ser un 24% de la población de los EE.UU. . El español es la segunda lengua de la nación, aunque sin cooficialidad salvo en Nuevo México y Puerto Rico

    El español está muy arraigado en la cultura estadounidense por la presencia hispánica desde el siglo XVI, con el descubrimiento la Florida en 1513 por Juan Ponce de León. A partir de ese siglo, y un buena parte del siguente, los españoles recorrieron muchos territorios del continente estadounidense: hacia el norte, de las tierras de la Florida a lo que hoy en día es Nueva Inglaterra, hacia al oeste desde la Florida hasta Texas; hacia la costa occidental, de California a Alaska así como hacia los territorios más interiores del país, como Iowa, las Dakotas y Nebaska. En 1620, cuando llegó el buque Mayflower, la monarquía española ya había poblado esas tierras estableciendo sus parroquias, pueblos y misiones desde San Agustín a Chesapeake.

    Cada dia hay más hispanos en los EE.UU. y por ello, su presencia y el espanol tendrán importancia durante las sucesivas generaciones en dicho país. Recomiendo este libro por la calidad y el rigor de la investigación por los académicos. En cuanto al precio, es baratísimo tieniendo en cuenta que es un tocho de 1,200 páginas. Vale muchísmo más. Segun los investigadores la lengua de Cervantes tiene un futuro prometedor. Ahora bien, hay que tener en cuenta que es un punto de vista imperial. Por ello, vale la pena leer artículos de personas que está en contra de español. Despues de todo el futuro de este idioma (el mantenimiento, el cuidado y el florecimiento) depende de los hispanos y los latinos que residen en los EE.UU. Se puede ser bilingüe en ambos idiomas.

    Book was worse for wear when I got and patched up with packing tape. It's massive by the way.

    That said, it had all the information I needed!

    The book has a lot of information on all aspects of the Spanish that is used in the US. There are several interesting articles about the Spanish used by different groups: Cubans, Puertorricans, Dominican, etc. The articles have a lot of history and numbers. The part I didnt like is the one that is about communication means, it is only a review of what important news companies exist in this country.
