Popis: Although Salvadorans are the third largest Spanish-speaking community in the United States, research on their adaptation and well-being remains scarce. This chapter seeks to contribute to the literature by (1) highlighting key moments in the history of El Salvador and its people, and (2) analyzing the existing literature on the Salvadoran immigrant experience from a strengths-based perspective. This chapter emphasizes the importance of considering different sources of resilience when seeking to understand the Salvadoran immigrant experience.
