U.S. Latino Literatures and Cultures

Transnational Perspectives. Edited by Francisco A. Lomelí and Karin Ikas.

The essays collected in the volume present far-ranging perspectives and methodologies about this burgeoning field in American Literary and Cultural Studies in Europe, the Américas and worldwide and illustrate its unprecedented impact there. As they speak from various vantage points the individual contributors are concerned with the multiple roles that literary, music, visual, and other textual manifestations of culture play in the symbolic formation of Latino/a identities in different regional settings in the United States and how they can be assessed and studied from abroad. Among the contributions to this volume are also poems and short stories by Rudolfo Anaya, Luis J. Rodriguez, Cecile Pineda and Sheila Ortiy Taylor. With contributions by Francisco A. Lomelí, Karin Ikas, Rubén G. Mendoza et al. XXI,333 Seiten mit 23 Abb., gebunden (Anglistische Forschungen; Band 290/Universitätsverlag Winter 2000)
