Editorial Reviews
Review
"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 book contains a lot of valuable information.. ...
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2016This 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.

Very useful for Latino studies
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2009Highly 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.
