Description: This lively, highly informative study covers the long and colorful past of Hispanics in Nevada, analyzes their growing role in the state's present - especially in the booming urban South - and offers some projections for their future, as well as for the future of research in this field.

We discover that the contributions of Hispanics to Nevada are as diverse as the cultures and personalities of the various Spanish-speaking peoples who settled here, and that their importance as one of the state's fastest growing ethnic groups is no less interesting than their colorful past.
