Sociological readings of this global world S.XXI begin to be full of impossible: defining the Latin phenomenon in the United States is one of them. Any attempt to find a point of difference and, at the same time common denominator of Latinos in America failed is resolved. You will always find some contradiction root delegitimize the common feature that is thought to find. This is the greatest challenge to Latin_US and also the best of its attractions. The Latino community is a work-in-progress that is updated with new data every minute. Of course, we find factors and conditions that arouse and encourage a strong sense of community. Literature, music, telenovelas, gastronomy, the Latino vote, their senators and congressmen, the imagery more or less representative and stereotypes ... They all elements that refer immediately to a certain essence of the Latin. A reference image that actively operates both nationally and internationally. The Latino presence in U.S. territory is increasing. His influence within and outside its borders also grows qualitatively. But how is it defined? Who is on? How does it manifest? And above all, and what concerns us, how is it represented?In the field of imaginary representations, not to fall into stereotypes or clichés is very difficult. There is a picture of the Latino and avoid evoke when it comes to representations of the group is not a simple task. The Latin and the world to which it refers is anchored on rigid stereotypes created from the otherness obsolete. The preconceived image of what is Latin continues to function as key definition, identity and belonging, even though the image is already somewhat obsolete and increasingly further from reality. Daily Latin_US therefore starts with a challenge to the usual image of the Latin: that which appears to us with the immediacy of automatic referential. Challenge the stereotype, not because it is representative, or because it is not part of the community experience, but because there is nothing that image again. And Latin America is a changing reality, evolving, revolutionary, mutates, regenerates, who reinvents since its inception. Latin_US generates a virtual tour from different perspectives form a multifaceted vision that aims to identify, mark, or contain. Just try to build an imaginary map of visual narrative and modes of representation that are as creative and identity regarding the universe of "Latino".
