Marco Rubio es el primer hispano en la historia con serias opciones de llegar a la Casa Blanca. Hijo de inmigrantes que huyeron de Cuba antes de la llegada del castrismo y que se quedaron a medio camino de hacer realidad el sueno americano, Rubio es una figura con una fuerte carga simbolica. Su padre nunca paso de camarero y su madre limpiaba hoteles en Las Vegas o Miami, pero Marco se intereso desde adolescente por la politica escuchando a un abuelo que admiraba a Ronald Reagan. Se graduo en la universidad e hizo carrera politica desde los cargos mas modestos en Miami.
Su ascenso dentro del partido republicano tiene que ver con su capacidad retorica y su habilidad para adaptarse a cualquier situacion. Llego al Senado como uno de los favoritos del sector mas conservador y poco a poco se ha ido moviendo hacia posiciones mas centristas, abanderando la reforma migratoria que podria legalizar a millones de inmigrantes indocumentados. Su trayectoria simboliza de modo inmejorable el auge de la comunidad hispana, y permite retratar a la vez a un joven y ambicioso politico y a la joven y ambiciosa comunidad a la que representa, para ofrecer una imagen poliedrica del pais mas importante del mundo y el papel que los hispanos desempenan alli.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Marco Rubio, son of immigrants who fled Cuba before the arrival of the Castro regime, and who fell short in making the American dream come true for themselves, Rubio is a figure with a strong symbolic charge. His father was a waiter and his mother cleaned hotels in Las Vegas or Miami, but Marco became interested in politics as a teenager listening to a grandfather who admired Ronald Reagan. He graduated from college and pursued a political career from the most modest positions in Miami.
His rise within the Republican Party has to do with his rhetorical ability. He came to the Senate as one of the favorites of the more conservative sector and little by little he has been moving towards more centrist positions. This book showcases both a young and ambitious politician and the young and ambitious community that he represents, to offer a multifaceted image of the most important country in the world and the role that Hispanics play in it.
