Описание: What can Latinx youth contribute to critical conversations on culture, politics, identity, and representation? Latinx Teens answers this question and more by offering an energetic, in-depth look at how Latinx teenagers influence twenty-first-century U.S. popular culture.In this exciting new book, Trevor Boffone and Cristina Herrera explore the diverse ways that contemporary mainstream film, television, theater, and young adult literature invokes, constructs, and interprets adolescent Latinidad. Latinx Teens shows how coming-of-age Latinx representation is performed in mainstream media, and how U.S. audiences consume Latinx characters and stories. Despite the challenges that the Latinx community face in both real and fictional settings, Latinx teens in pop culture forge spaces that institutionalize Latinidad. Teen characters make Latinx adolescence mainstream and situate teen characters as both in and outside their Latinx communities and U.S. mainstream culture, conveying the complexities of “fitting in,” and refusing to fit in all at the same time.Fictional teens such as Spider-Man’s Miles Morales, I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter’s Julia Reyes, Party of Five’s Acosta siblings, and In the Heights’s Nina Rosario comprise a growing body of pop culture media that portray young Latinxs as three-dimensional individuals who have agency, authenticity, and serious charisma. Teenagers and young adults have always had the power to manifest social change, and this book acknowledges, celebrates, and investigates how Latinx teens in popular culture take on important current issues.With a dynamic interdisciplinary approach, Latinx Teens explores how Latinxs on the cusp of adulthood challenge, transform, expand, and reimagine Latinx identities and their relationships to mainstream U.S. popular culture in the twenty-first century.The book makes a critical intervention into Latinx studies, youth studies, and media cultures. Students and scholars alike will benefit from the book’s organization, complete with chapters that focus on specific mediums and conclude with suggestions for further reading and viewing. As the first book that specifically examines Latinx adolescence in popular culture, Latinx Teens insists that we must privilege the stories of Latinx teenagers in television, film, theater, and literature to get to the heart of Latinx popular culture. Exploring themes around representation, identity, gender, sexuality, and race, the works explored in this groundbreaking volume reveal that there is no single way to be Latinx, and show how Latinx youth are shaping the narrative of the Latinx experience for a more inclusive future.

Описание: In this fresh and fascinating chronicle of Christianity in the contemporary South, historian and minister James Hudnut-Beumler draws on extensive interviews and his own personal journeys throughout the region over the past decade to present a comprehensive portrait of the South's long-dominant religion. Hudnut-Beumler traveled to both rural and urban communities, listening to the faithful talk about their lives and beliefs. What he heard pushes hard against prevailing notions of southern Christianity as an evangelical Protestant monolith so predominant as to be unremarkable. True, outside of a few spots, no non-Christian group forms more than six-tenths of one percent of a state's population in what Hudnut-Beumler calls the Now South. Drilling deeper, however, he discovers an unexpected, blossoming diversity in theology, practice, and outlook among southern Christians. He finds, alongside traditional Baptists, black and white, growing numbers of Christians exemplifying changes that no one could have predicted even just forty years ago, from congregations of LGBT-supportive evangelicals and Spanish-language church services to a Christian homeschooling movement so robust in some places that it may rival public education in terms of acceptance. He also finds sharp struggles and political divisions among those trying to reconcile such Christian values as morality and forgiveness—the aftermath of the mass shooting at Charleston's Emanuel A.M.E. Church in 2015 forming just one example. This book makes clear that understanding the twenty-first-century South means recognizing many kinds of southern Christianities.
1. The health and safety of farmworkers in the eastern US: A continuing need to focus on social justice (Arcury, Quandt)
This chapter provides the rationale for addressing the health and safety of Latinx migrant and seasonal farmworkers in the eastern US as a justice issue. It provides an introduction to the volume and a summary of the chapters.
2. Latinx farmworkers and farm work in the eastern US: The context for health, safety, and justice (Arcury, Mora) This chapter provides a description of Latinx farmworkers in the eastern US, summarizing statistical sources (e.g., US Census of Agriculture, US Department of Commerce) and the general literature on their number, demographic characteristics, and living conditions (migrant housing). Although remaining largely Latinx over the past three decades, many characteristics of the farmworker population have continued to change during the past decade. For example, all farmworkers are contingent workers, but due to political forces and an increase in year-round agricultural production in some places, fewer are migrant workers and more are seasonal workers. Among those who migrate, a growing number have temporary H-2A work visas, which limits the number accompanied by their partners and children. More seasonal workers have children who are US citizens. Understanding the current characteristics of the Latinx farmworker population is essential to improving occupational justice through workplace health and safety policy and improving access to health care.
3. Occupational injuries and illnesses of farmworkers in the eastern US (Arcury, Quandt, Rhodes, Arnold)
This chapter provides an overview of the occupational injuries and illnesses experienced by Latinx farmworkers in the eastern US, and the processes (policy, regulations, organization of work) needed to reduce the rates of injuries and illnesses. Some injuries and illnesses, including heat stress, musculoskeletal disorders, pesticide poisoning, and trauma, are common across agricultural work. Heat stress may be exacerbated by climate change. Other injuries and illness, such as infectious diseases, stress, and mental illness, are more specific to farmworkers due to crowded housing and separation from families. Nicotine poisoning (green tobacco sickness) is specific to the eastern US, where tobacco is produced. Understanding the current types and levels of occupational injury and illness of the Latinx farmworker population is essential to improving occupational justice through workplace health and safety policy and improving access to health care.
4. Occupational health, safety, and context of dairy and livestock workers (Sexsmith)
Dairy operations require a daily work commitment throughout the year. Many dairy farmers are aging, and finding American workers for this demanding work is difficult. Many dairy farms have hired Latinx workers to meet their labor needs. Similarly, many poultry and hog confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs) (referred to as factory farms) require difficult labor that many American workers do not want. This chapter details the work conditions encountered by these dairy, poultry, and livestock workers; the health and safety of these workers; and changes needed to ensure their occupational justice.
5. Women farmworkers and women in farmworker families (Sandberg, Trejo)
Almost one-third of farmworkers are women. Many women have partners who are farmworkers or live in families with farmworkers; these women may also work outside the home. In addition to any paid employment, these women
They work at some of America's most hazardous jobs, have few protections, and receive some of the lowest wages. Latino Farmworkers in the Eastern United States describes this understudied and underserved population. Taking a social justice stance, this volume examines the health and living conditions of workers in agriculture, while advocating for equality. Contributors cover all major areas of illness and injury (including occupational, environmental, infections, and pesticides), while also focusing on systemic social conditions, from lax industry regulations to lack of basic services--problems that are exacerbated by workers' status as recent immigrants. Mental health burdens from the effects of discrimination to substance use, as well as the cumulative impact of workers' separation from families are discussed for a comprehensive, meticulously documented resource.
Keeping its findings grounded in agricultural, farm-labor, cultural, and geographic contexts, the book:
Highlights the unique characteristics of the farmworker population in the eastern United States.
Discusses occupational health problems among farmworkers, both general (e.g., musculoskeletal disorders) and job-specific (e.g., green tobacco sickness).
Includes in-depth chapters on pesticide exposure, infectious diseases, and mental health.
Reports on health issues specific to women and children.
Reviews the current state of advocacy programs.
Offers possible solutions for injuries related to specific types of jobs.
Proposes a social justice agenda to improve occupational and environmental policy for farmworkers.
Written to serve both the seasoned professional and the newcomer, Latino Farmworkers in the Eastern United States is a bedrock source of information for those providing health and social services in the community, for researchers investigating health and safety disparities, and for advocates and policymakers working to correct them.

Crossing distinct literatures, histories, and politics, Giving Form to an Asian and Latinx America reveals the intertwined story of contemporary Asian Americans and Latinxs through a shared literary aesthetic. Their transfictional literature creates expansive imagined worlds in which distinct stories coexist, offering artistic shape to their linked political and economic struggles. Long Le-Khac explores the work of writers such as Sandra Cisneros, Karen Tei Yamashita, Junot Diaz, and Aimee Phan. He shows how their fictions capture the uneven economic opportunities of the post–civil rights era, the Cold War as it exploded across Asia and Latin America, and the Asian and Latin American labor flows powering global capitalism today.
Read together, Asian American and Latinx literatures convey astonishing diversity and untapped possibilities for coalition within the United States' fastest-growing immigrant and minority communities; to understand the changing shape of these communities we must see how they have formed in relation to each other. As the U.S. population approaches a minority-majority threshold, we urgently need methods that can look across the divisions and unequal positions of the racial system. Giving Form to an Asian and Latinx America leads the way with a vision for the future built on panethnic and cross-racial solidarity.

Within queer, transgender, and Latinx and Chicanx cultural politics, brown transgender narratives are frequently silenced and erased. Brown trans subjects are treated as deceptive, unnatural, nonexistent, or impossible, their bodies, lives, and material circumstances represented through tropes and used as metaphors. Restoring personhood and agency to these subjects, Francisco J. Galarte advances “brown trans figuration” as a theoretical framework to describe how transness and brownness coexist within the larger queer, trans, and Latinx historical experiences.
Brown Trans Figurations presents a collection of representations that reveal the repression of brown trans narratives and make that repression visible and palpable. Galarte examines the violent deaths of two transgender Latinas and the corresponding narratives that emerged about their lives, analyzes the invisibility of brown transmasculinity in Chicana feminist works, and explores how issues such as transgender politics can be imagined as part of Chicanx and Latinx political movements. This book considers the contexts in which brown trans narratives appear, how they circulate, and how they are reproduced in politics, sexual cultures, and racialized economies.
2020 International Latino Book Awards Honorable Mention in Best Nonfiction (Multi-Author)
Latinx Writing Los Angeles offers a critical anthology of Los Angeles’s most significant English-language and Spanish-language (in translation) nonfiction writing from the city’s inception to the present. Contemporary Latinx authors, including three Pulitzer Prize winners and writers such as Harry Gamboa Jr., Guillermo Gómez-Peña, and Rubén Martínez, focus on the ways in which Latinx Los Angeles’s nonfiction narratives record the progressive racialization and subalternization of Latinxs in the southwestern United States.
While notions of racial memory, coloniality, biopolitics, internal colonialism, cultural assimilation, Mexican or pan-Latinx cultural nationalism, and transnationalism permeate this anthology, contributors advocate the idea of a contested modernity that refuses to accept mainstream cultural impositions, proposing instead alternative ways of knowing and understanding. Featuring a wide variety of voices as well as a diversity of subgenres, this collection is the first to illuminate divergent, hybrid Latinx histories and cultures. Redefining Los Angeles’s literary history and providing a new model for English, Spanish, and Latinx studies, Latinx Writing Los Angeles is an essential contribution to southwestern and borderland studies.
This collection of essays, drawn from Aztl?n: A Journal of Chicano Studies, focuses on the personal experiences of Chicanx and Latinx scholars, writers, and artists. Each essay is a reflection on the process of self-naming—the role of “I”—in the authors’ work and research. Autobiography without Apology expands the earlier CSRC Press publication I Am Aztl?n with the inclusion of ten essays that bring the collection up to date. The new title acknowledges Aztl?n’s growing scope as it embraces Latinx, LGBT, and Indigenous studies as well as Chicanx studies.
