Descriere Critical Dialogues in Latinx Studies: A Reader - Ana Y. Ramos-zayas

\n**WINNER, D. Scott Palmer Prize for Best Edited Collection, given by the New England Council of Latin American Studies** \n \nIntroduces new approaches, theoretical trends, and understudied topics in Latinx Studies \n \nThis groundbreaking work offers a multidisciplinary, social-science oriented perspective on Latinx studies, including the social histories and contemporary lives of a diverse range of Latina and Latino populations. Editors Ana Y. Ramos-Zayas and Mérida M. Rúa have crafted an anthology that is unique in both form and content. The book combines previously published canonical pieces with original, cutting-edge works created for this volume. The sections of the text are arranged thematically as critical dialogues, each with a brief preface that provides context and a conceptual direction for the scholarly conversation that ensues. \n \nThe editors frame the volume around the humanistic social sciences, using the term to highlight the historical and social contexts under which expressive cultural forms and archival records are created. \n \nCritical Dialogues in Latinx Studies masterfully sheds light on the diversity and complexity of the everyday lives of Latinx populations, the political economic structures that shape enduring racialization and cultural stereotyping, and the continuing efforts to carve out new lives as diasporic, transnational, global, and colonial subjects.\n
