LatinX Literature, Aesthetics, Practices

Scholars from across the nation distill the LatinX present, sharing their perspectives on the LatinX category as well as LatinX knowledge and cultural production. This conversation builds on the participants’ contributions to two recent publications  exploring LatinX cultural and intellectual thought: the special issues of English Language Notes (ELN) on “LatinX in Hemispheric Context” and Cultural Dynamics on “Theorizing LatinX.”
