The Latino-Hispanic American Experience offers a unique approach, focusing exclusively on the Latino-Hispanic history in the United States. The first series of The Latino-Hispanic American Experience, Arte Público is a digital collection of historical content pertaining to U.S. Hispanic history, literature, political commentary, and culture. The second series, Leaders, Writers, and Thinkers presents thematic content focusing on the evolution of Hispanic civil rights, religious thought, and the growing presence of women writers from the late 19th and 20th centuries.
The database is offered and maintained by EBSCO, under the direction of Dr. Nicolás Kanellos, founder and director of Arte Público Press, the oldest and largest publisher of U.S. Latino-Hispanic literature.
