“First time author Cristina Benitez explores the positive impact of Latinos on mainstream America in her recently released 128-page book, Latinization: How Latino Culture is Transforming the U.S. (Paramount Market Publishing, $24.95). The second generation Latina relied on 20 years of Hispanic marketing experience and the input of 20 leaders.
In the book, she also included quotes and the insights of 14 men and six women in the arts and sciences, many from the Chicago area, in her efforts to define the influence of Hispanics on American culture. The leaders Benitez consulted include Hispanics and non Hispanics; entrepreneurs, authors, artists, performers, managers and the first woman to walk in space.”
