While the peoples of these nations all share the historical experience of Spanish colonization and U.S. imperialism, their immigration patterns have differed vastly affecting not only their social, cultural, and political trajectories in the United States, but also their relationships to concepts of “home” and “homeland,” nation, diaspora, history, and memory.
