Editorial Reviews

Review

?Allatson?s Key Terms will be useful for any Latino/a studies course, and could be used effectively as a pedagogical starting point for building a class glossary. However, it also provides a timely resource for Latino/cultural and literary studies by engaging current scholarly conversations while also inviting probing questions about what comes next for the field.? (Latino Studies, October 2009)

"Allatson?s Key Terms is un glosario indispensable, una contribución intelectual única! He has done for Latino Studies what Raymond Williams? Keywords did for Cultural Studies. Bravo!" Alberto Sandoval-Sánchez, Mount Holyoke College


?Allatson has prepared a masterful encyclopedic registry of several hundred key terms and concepts. In all cases, his definitions are precise and accurate and grounded in an extensive bibliography of major sources.? David William Foster, Arizona State University


?This book provides a safe path through the minefields of contemporary US Latino/a cultural practices. It is admirably clear, evenhanded, and passionate, with praiseworthy attention given to the nuances of gender and sexual diversity.? Debra Castillo, Cornell University

"Allatson offers an introduction that differs in content from material in the other works, since he considers the significance of Latino/a studies outside the US context... Concise, well-documented entries in a convenient one-volume work." Choice

From the Inside Flap

This is an indispensable reference comprised of hundreds of key terms central to the important and developing fields of Latino/a cultural and literary studies. From “ABC Generation,” “Alamo,” “Americanization,” and “assimilation,” to “United Farm Workers”, the “West,” “Young Lords,” and “Zoot Suit Riots,” this volume is a valuable pedagogical resource that encourages reflective, analytical responses.

Key Terms in Latino/a Cultural and Literary Studies looks to demonstrate the interdisciplinary nature and internationalization of Latino/a Studies as it has grown over the past few decades. An extensive bibliography of critical texts, to aid further study and comprehension, rounds out the guide.

    This book contains a lot of valuable information.... Unfortunatly Allatson forgot to add the term Indigineity in his book. He writing a book about key terms in Latin America and don't even acknowledge the fact that the vast majority of Latin America still has a lot of native Indians in it that practice their culture on a regular basis? Not just Mexico, but Peru, Argentina, El Salvador, Chile, Venezuela, Guatemala, Uruguay, etc.

    Highly recommended and very useful glossary of terms for Latino studies scholars and people with an interest in this area. There are some missing terms, but a brief book such as this one cannot make everyone happy.
