Abstract

The marches staged in defense of immigrant rights on the May 1st in the United States attracted more people than any other march in the history on the nation. While for many these marches represented the desire for assimilation, the marches themselves expressed a diversity of subjects with multiple agendas. In general, these agendas correspond to the diversity of experiences of immigration and racialization in the United States. This article offers a conceptual map to understand the differences among Latinos in the United States. It also explores the sources and possibilities of a radical agenda of decolonization.
