Convoluted interactions among Native Americans, Spaniards, French, Mexicans, Anglos, and others shaped the story of Utah. Awareness of the long presence of Hispanics in Utah is essential to understanding the history of the state. This volume is an attempt to piece together that history through photos and oral histories. \u003cbr\u003e As Armando Solórzano and other researchers conducted oral history interviews with Mexicans, Mexican Americans, and other Latinos throughout the state, a number of participants began giving the team photographs, some dating back to 1895, which provided an opportunity to begin reconstructing a history through pictures, as a community project. Within two years, Solórzano and his colleagues were able to create the pictorial history of Mexican-Americans and Latinos in Utah and launched their efforts as a photo-documentary exhibit. This book collects photographs to represent different historical periods and the manifold contributions of Latinos to the state of Utah. \u003cbr\u003e Readers who delve into this book may see these photos as artistic expressions or artifacts of history and photographic technique. Some readers will see images of their relatives and precursors who labored to create a better life in Utah. The images evoke both nostalgia for a time gone by and the possibility of reconstructing history with a fairer premise. The book does not tell the full story of Latinos in Utah but should prove to be a catalyst, inspiring others to continue documenting and reconstructing the neglected threads of Utah's history, making it truly the history of all of us. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Recipient of the Meritorious Book Award from the Utah Division of State History.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Utah Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781607813583\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 7.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Armando Sol\u0026#195;\u0026#179;rzano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52537429164213,"sku":"9781607813583","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_eec3d408-57b0-4230-ac92-9fed5634f1f3.jpg?v=1779169510","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/we-remember-we-celebrate-we-believe-recuerdo-celebracizen-y-esperanza-latinos-in-utah-9781607813583","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
