Peruvian-American author and Former Literary Director of the Library of Congress, Marie Arana discusses her sweeping book Latinoland with broadcaster, editor and critic, Bilal Qureshi. Arana conducted hundreds of in-depth interviews about the fastest-growing minority group in the US. Her family arrived in Miami in the 1950s, back when Latinos officially made up 2 percent of the United States. That number is closer to 20 percent today, an enormous and increasing population that, despite being mostly Mexican American, is also growing in its diversity. A central tension of Latinoland is how to navigate these demographic differences while holding 60 million people to a single, collective identity.
