Description: Latinx Writing Los Angeles : Nonfiction Dispatches from a Decolonial Rebellion, Hardcover by López-calvo, Ignacio (EDT); Valle, Victor (EDT), ISBN 1496202414, ISBN-13 9781496202413, Brand New, Free shipping in the US 2020 International Latino Book Awards Honorable Mention in Best Nonfiction (Multi-Author) Latinx Writing Los Angeles offers a critical anthology of Los Angeles&;s most significant English-language and Spanish-language (in translation) nonfiction writing from the city&;s inception to the present. Contemporary Latinx authors, including three Pulitzer Prize winners and writers such as Harry Gamboa Jr., Guillermo Gómez-Peña, and Rubén Martínez, focus on the ways in which Latinx Los Angeles&;s nonfiction narratives record the progressive racialization and subalternization of Latinxs in the southwestern United States. While notions of racial memory, coloniality, biopolitics, internal colonialism, cultural assimilation, Mexican or pan-Latinx cultural nationalism, and transnationalism permeate this anthology, contributors advocate the idea of a contested modernity that refuses to accept mainstream cultural impositions, proposing instead alternative ways of knowing and understanding. Featuring a wide variety of voices as well as a diversity of subgenres, this collection is the first to illuminate divergent, hybrid Latinx histories and cultures. Redefining Los Angeles&;s literary history and providing a new model for English, Spanish, and Latinx studies, Latinx Writing Los Angeles is an essential contribution to southwestern and borderland studies.
