“Latinos are not a monolith” is something we hear whenever politicians want to court Latino voters, and no one understands the nuances of this community quite like journalist and author Marie Arana. She’s the author of “LatinoLand: A Portrait of America’s Largest and Least Understood Minority," which explores the complexities, histories and cultures of Latinos in the United States.

In this moment of political change, Maria Hinojosa sits down with Marie Arana to discuss just how wide-ranging Latinidad is, unpack this community’s place in U.S.political history, and reflect on the future of Latinos in this country.
