Synopsis

Introduction to Latinx Studies: A Social Science and Cultural Studies Reader provides students with a collection of carefully curated primary sources and textbook style introductions that explore contemporary Latinx issues and experiences.

In Unit I, Negotiating Identities, readings examine the various ways in which Latinx communities think about belonging and classification in the context of the U.S. Unit II, Resistance and Mobilizations, features scholarly primary sources that discuss issues related to race relations and social and political mobilizations. The third unit, Migration and Immigration, introduces readers to the broader context of U.S.-Latin American relations, globalization, and the effects of immigration policy and enforcement. In the final section, Critical Intersectionalities, readers engage with articles that examine intersections within the Latinx community. Dedicated readings explore the nuances of race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, and social stratification. Throughout, engaging introductions provide readers with necessary context for the selected articles and discussion questions that guide them in their understanding of the material.

Research-based and timely, Introduction to Latinx Studies is an excellent main text for courses in the social sciences such as sociology, anthropology, political science and cultural studies courses with focus on contemporary Latinx issues and culture.
