Latinidad
Latinidad has multiple uses and definitions. It is a Spanish-language term that refers to the various attributes shared by Latin Americans and their descendants without reducing those similarities to any single essential trait. Part of Massachusetts’ Latinidad experience is that it is truly unique. It is an amalgam of Latin American cultures, right here in our backyard. There are 33 countries that compose Latin America and the Caribbean that come together in Massachusetts, sharing Latin-rooted languages with words often blended with indigenous tongues. There are many variances in accents, speech patterns, and word meanings. There are many variances in food and culture. Latinidad culturally is, within itself, multi-cultural, multi-racial, and gender-identity diverse.
