About one out of every ten Hispanics in the Boston metropolitan area is Salvadoran, according to the 2010 American Community Survey. Yet little is known on the outside about this community, just occasional references to an extraordinary restaurant that sells the Salvadoran pancakes known as pupusas or the sadder headlines about local gang activity with its origins in El Salvador.

Miguel was six years old when he was forced to witness the execution of his first-grade teacher for participating in a teachers’ strike. “What I remember is that the guard turned around and pointed a G-3 to our heads and told us that if we went down that road, he would kill us too.” The image of the teacher falling on the school grounds haunts him to this day.

The coastal wetlands of Louisiana are part of the world’s seventh-largest river delta.

What is the significance of this fact, you may ask, and what connection is there between this submerged land and the descendants of people from the Canary Islands living in Louisiana today, whose photographs we present here? Both stories, of the land…
