Brujx: An Afro- Latinx Queer Gesture -- About the Contributors -- Index Summary "This book approaches the social histories and contemporary lives of a diverse range of Latina and Latino populations, including immigrants, exiles, refugees, and US-born groups from across the Americas. Adopting a comparative ethnic studies lens that captures local and transnational perspectives on community, national and pan-ethnic identifications, and diverse social and demographic trends, this anthology emphasizes the breadth and dynamism of the ideas, debates, and questions that drive the dynamic field of Latinx Studies. This proposed anthology is unique, not only in its comparative, humanistic social science focus, but also in its structure and organization of key debates, what we call "critical diálogos," in Latinx Studies. The volume deliberately considers each contribution, not exclusively as a stand-alone piece, but as part of a larger disciplinary theme and interdisciplinary conversation. For instance, we highlight the strength of the inter-sectional, comparative, and interdisciplinary Latinx Studies scholarship in our decision to avoid rigid thematic sections (e.g. a section on "gender," or "youth"), in favor of weaving those thematic considerations in relation to broader scholarly discussions (e.g. a section on kinship and forms of relatedness or the world of work). This specific "debate framing" allows readers to identify specific areas of thematic interest, while remaining unavoidably attentive to 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"-- Provided by publisher Introduces new approaches, theoretical trends, and understudied topics in Latinx Studies This 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. The 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. Critical 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 Analysis Political violence Politics Print Culture Public housing Puerto Ricans Puerto Rico Queer Race Race/Ethnicity Racial Statistics Racialized Masculinity Racism Refugees Regionalism Relations Religion Sanctuary School-to-prison-to-deportation pipeline Science Settler colonialism Sex Work or Prostitution Sexuality Shelter Social Capital Social regulation Street Vendors Structures of (im)mobility Student activism The Bronx Transgender Transnational ties Transnationalism U.S. Black Central Americans U.S. imperialism U.S. intervention Un/re-rooted familial geographies Value War Westlake-MacArthur Park White Latinos Writing and Literature ambient text audience blackness capitalism class empathy environmental perception environmental psychology exile community musical phatic function place identity race racial politics stand-up comedy stereotype theater urban design vernacular signage "Mexicans" "disposable strangers" Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based upon print version of record Subject Hispanic Americans.
