Latino Minnesota.
Roethke, an art historian, has compiled a vivid portrait of the lives, struggles, culture, and history of Minnesota's large Latino population. Complemented by many historic photographs, the text chronicles the arrival of immigrants and migrant workers in the 19th century, their work, neighborhoods, and social lives, continuing the narrative into the present. The book is designed for young readers (6th and 7th grade), and includes a selection of activities coded to each chapter. Printed in a horizontal format: 10.25x9.25 inches.
