First sentence: In an era of increasing global interconnections, interdependence, and economic integration among nations and regions, paying due attention to the US Hispanic heritage, to the increasing presence of Latinos in the United States, and to the existing transnational linkages that (im)migrant groups maintain with their Latin American or Caribbean countries of origin, immediately suggests new challenges and changes in our conventional interpretations of the history and culture of the Americas, both North and South.
