Latino/A Popular Culture

Latinos have become the largest ethnic minority group in the US. While the presence of Latino/as in mainstream news and in popular culture in the US buttresses the much heralded Latin explosion, the images themselves are often contradictory. In this volume the editers have brought together scholars from the humanities and social sciences to analyse representations of Latinidad in a diversity of genres - media culture, music, film, theatre, art and sports - that are emerging across the US in relation to Chicanas, Chicanos, mestizos, Puerto Ricans, Caribbeans, Central Americans and South Americans and Latinos in Canada.
