Negotiating Latinidad : intralatina/o lives in Chicago
\"Negotiating Latinidad shares the family experiences of twenty Intralatino/as who were born in, and/or grew up in Chicago and have negotiated the national communities embodied in their nuclear and extended families. Intralatino/as are Latino/as of mixed nationalities, such as MexiRicans, MexiGuatemalans, CubanRicans, and SalvadoRicans. These children of Latino/a parents of different Latino American nationalities are the biological instantiation of Latinidad. Their personal lives and their everyday experiences negotiating various national communities, most evidently in their families, have not yet been documented, analyzed, or integrated into our knowledge about U.S. Latino/as. In the first study of this group, Frances R. Aparicio discovered that Intralatino/as see themselves as true Latino/as, with mixed identities, who are able to understand difference and boundaries more easily than others. Yet they also have, in their own family situations, conflicts, tragedies, and celebrations, experienced the pain of (non)belonging, whether in a brief moment of social interaction with others or in the lengthier unfolding of their family dramas, conflicts, and challenges. This book contributes to efforts to reaffirm the critical role of social identities for postcolonial, subordinated minorities in a globalizing world that increasingly renders identity politics and social identities unimportant. The book is also about the Intralatino/a subjectivities that inevitably prompts the question of whether U.S. Latino/as will eventually become a melting pot of nationalities\"-- Provided by publisher.

The Routledge Companion to Latino/A Literature
Latino/a literature is one of the fastest developing fields in the discipline of literary studies. It represents an identity that is characterized by fluidity and diversity, often explored through divisions formed by language, race, gender, sexuality, and immigration.
The Routledge Companion to Latino/a Literature presents over forty essays by leading and emerging international scholars of Latino/a literature and analyses:
Regional, cultural and sexual identities in Latino/a literature
Worldviews and traditions of Latino/a cultural creation
Latino/a literature in different international contexts
The impact of differing literary forms of Latino/a literature
The politics of canon formation in Latino/a literature.
This collection provides a map of the critical issues central to the discipline, as well as uncovering new perspectives and new directions for the development of the field. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the past, present and future of this literary culture.

Latinx Studies in the Midwest: An Illegitimate Field
This article summarizes some of my most salient experiences advocating for the growth, autonomy, and sustainability of Latinx Studies programs at three different universities in the Midwest. I argue that despite our region's central role as a pioneering space for acknowledging Latinidad, our field still depends on traditional disciplines for hiring and curriculum, remains vastly under-resourced and, ultimately, is still illegitimate in academic institutions. My memories highlight the critical role of student mobilizations, faculty commitment, and our responsibility to share our knowledge with our local and regional Latinx communities as we continue to advocate for more autonomous and sustainable units.

The Book of Salsa
Salsa is one of the most popular types of music listened to and danced to in the United States. Until now, the single comprehensive history of the music--and the industry that grew up around it, including musicians, performances, styles, movements, and production--was available only in Spanish. This lively translation provides for English-reading and music-loving fans the chance to enjoy Cesar Miguel Rondon's celebratedEl libro de la salsa.Rondon tells the engaging story of salsa's roots in Puerto Rico, Cuba, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, and Venezuela, and of its emergence and development in the 1960s as a distinct musical movement in New York. Rondon presents salsa as a truly pan-Caribbean phenomenon, emerging in the migrations and interactions, the celebrations and conflicts that marked the region. Although salsa is rooted in urban culture, Rondon explains, it is also a commercial product produced and shaped by professional musicians, record producers, and the music industry. For this first English-language edition, Rondon has added a new chapter to bring the story of salsa up to the present.

Not fully Boricuas: Puerto Rican Intralatino/as in Chicago
This article, based on interviews, examines the identity negotiations enacted by Puerto Ricans of multiple Latin American nationalities in Chicago. How is Puerto Ricanness reaffirmed, undermined and reimagined by these Puerto Ricans who are not considered \"fully Boricuas\"? How do they reclaim and perform traces of their puertorriquenidad in ways that make sense to them and that allow them to reaffirm their Latinidad simultaneously? Struggling to belong within the horizontal hierarchies of Latino Chicago, that is, in the power differentials and relational dynamics among different Latino nationalities, these Puerto Rican Intralatino/as perform their puertorriquenidad through biological/ phenotypical discourses, by reflecting on skin color and on the racialization of the Puerto Rican identity, and by celebrating the domestic transnationalism with Mexican Chicago. The essay reaffirms the processes of restructuring and reclaiming Puerto Ricanness in light of the decrease in Puerto Rican demographics in Chicago.
