Book Overview
Scholars from the humanities and social sciences analyze representations of Latinidad in a diversity of genres
Latinos have become the largest ethnic minority group in the United States. While the presence of Latinos and Latinas in mainstream news and in popular culture in the United States buttresses the much-heralded Latin Explosion, the images themselves are often contradictory. In Latino/a Popular Culture, Habell-Pall n and Romero have brought together scholars from the humanities and social sciences to analyze representations of Latinidad in a diversity of genres--media, culture, music, film, theatre, art, and sports--that are emerging across the nation in relation to Chicanas, Chicanos, mestizos, Puerto Ricans, Caribbeans, Central Americans and South Americans, and Latinos in Canada. Contributors include Adrian Burgos, Jr., Luz Calvo, Arlene D vila, Melissa A. Fitch, Michelle Habell-Pall n, Tanya Kater Hern ndez, Josh Kun, Frances Negron-Muntaner, William A. Nericcio, Raquel Z. Rivera, Ana Patricia Rodr guez, Gregory Rodriguez, Mary Romero, Alberto Sandoval-S nchez, Christopher A. Shinn, Deborah R. Vargas, and Juan Velasco.Cover artwork "Layering the Decades" by Diane Gamboa, 2002, mixed media on paper, 11 X 8.5". Copyright 2001, Diane Gamboa. Printed with permission.
