In this companion meant for students and scholars, Flores and Rosaldo (Latino studies, New York U.) compile 45 essays written by scholars of Latina/o studies, as well as creative writers, from the US (many who are natives of Latin America). In addition to several memoirs, they present new areas of scholarship in the field, ranging from essays on critical practices and methods, to those that examine institutional struggles in the production of knowledge. They discuss topics such as immigration, popular music, religion, oral tradition and performance art by women, language, historiography, education, AIDS, racial identity, and ethnography. A few of the essays were previously published elsewhere. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

A Companion to Latina/o Studies is a collection of 40 original essays written by leading scholars in the field, dedicated to exploring the question of what 'Latino/a' is.

  • Brings together in one volume a diverse range of original essays by established and emerging scholars in the field of Latina/o Studies
  • Offers a timely reference to the issues, topics, and approaches to the study of US Latinos - now the largest minority population in the United States
  • Explores the depth of creative scholarship in this field, including theories of latinisimo, immigration, political and economic perspectives, education, race/class/gender and sexuality, language, and religion
  • Considers areas of broader concern, including history, identity, public representations, cultural expression and racialization (including African and Native American heritage).

Reviews

"[ The] present volume provides researchers and academics with detailed information on a wide range of issues. It offers material for study both to the growing numbers in the academic community undertaking research on Latin American affairs as well as for sociologists in general.... The information to be gleaned from this volume will more than repay the price of £95." (Reference Reviews, April 2009) "An amazing collection of original essays that displays the maturity, complexity, and diversity of Latina/o Studies today. Creative, bold, and provocative, these writings mark the transformation of the field into the hands of a new generation of interdisciplinary scholars." George J. Sanchez, University of Southern California
