The Diverse Impact of US Latinos

ELTE BTK Building “R”, Frank Tibor Room, 3rd floor 356.
The ELTE Department of American Studies, the ELTE Center for Research on Latin America (CIAL) and the Center for Research on North America (CISAN) of UNAM (Mexico) are organizing a multidisciplinary conference on the historical, cultural, political, social, and economic characteristics of communities of Latin American origin living in the United States.
The aim of the symposium is to draw the attention of Hungarian, Central European, and international scholars to the Latino community in the United States. Although the 60–65 million Latinos constitute 18–20% of the US population, and their cultural, political, and economic influence is growing both in the US and in their countries of origin, disciplinary boundaries make this group difficult to study and analyze for (North) Americanists and Latin Americanists alike.
