Thirty years ago, most people were ready to give up on American cities. We are commonly told that it was a creative class of young professionals who revived a moribund urban America in the 1990s and 2000s. But this stunning reversal owes much more to another, far less visible group: Latino and Latina newcomers.
Award-winning historian A. K. Sandoval-Strausz reveals this history by focusing on two barrios: Chicagos Little Village and Dallass Oak Cliff. These neighborhoods lost residents and jobs for decades before Latin American immigration turned them around beginning in the 1970s. As Sandoval-Strausz shows, Latinos made cities dynamic, stable, and safe by purchasing homes, opening businesses, and reviving street life. Barrio America uses vivid oral histories and detailed statistics to show how the great Latino migrations...

Barrio America is the strongest, most sophisticated rebuttal to the notion that immigration from Latin America threatens our country. In prose as eloquent as it is prescient, A. K. Sandoval-Strausz upends the notion that Americas cities were in decay from the 1960s to the current moment of revitalization. He shows how Latinx migrants initiated this recovery and have sustained it in the face of xenophobia, public divestment, and neglect. Finally, someone has honored the sacrifices of the most maligned immigrant community of our time.
Matthew J. Garcia, author of From the Jaws of Victory: The Triumph and Tragedy of Cesar Chavez and the Farm Worker Movement
By illuminating national trends in urban policy and bringing Latin American migrants to life through their personal oral histories, A. K. Sandoval-Strausz underscores why you cant understand American cities without studying Latinos. In Barrio America, he expertly explains how Latinos renewed our urban spaces through homeownership, contributed to cities cultural vibrancy, and how, through their actions and presence, they opened the doors for our current urban revival.
Rosina Lozano, Princeton University, author of An American Language: The History of Spanish in the United States
Barrio America shows that immigration is rejuvenation. In this compelling, persuasive history, Sandoval-Strausz shows how Latino and Latina immigrants acted as a grassroots-level force of urban revitalization. With a message urgent for our times, it reminds us that immigrants have for centuries infused our cities with life and promise, and that Hispanics are a vital part of this long American tradition.

To mi madre y mi padre,
Cecilia and Ivan,
who were children in worlds on fire
before finding a home here;
to mi vida,
Cathleen,
who is extraordinary in too many ways to count
and whose very presence makes everything more fun;
and to mis hijos,
Cecilia and Lincoln,
the most beautiful children imaginable
for whose generation we need to save this world.
The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.
LEVITICUS 19:34
O N A QUIET STREET IN DALLASS OAK CLIFF NEIGHBORHOOD , in a second-story addition that rises behind a modest yellow wood-frame house, sits the headquarters of the Federation of Zacatecan Clubs of North Texas. From the outside, the clubhouse is so unassuming that you could pass right by for years without ever knowing it was there. Upon stepping through the door, the first thing a visitor notices is the ten-foot-wide, floor-to-ceiling display on the east wall of the clubhouse. A pair of formal brass poles are mounted diagonally on the wall, each bearing a large flag: one of the United States, the other of Mexico. The banners are spread wide and carefully draped to create elegant folds in the bright fabric. In a dark wood frame between the flags hangs the official seal of the Mexican state of Zacatecas. The image, drawn from the original coat of arms bestowed by Philip II of Spain in 1588, features La Virgen del Patrocinio, the Child in her arms, flanked by the sun and moon; beneath her, four armored conquistadors look up in wonder.
