Description

Latina/o/x Communication Studies: Theories, Methods, and Practice spotlights contemporary Latina/o/x Communication Studies research in various theoretical, methodological, and academic contexts. Leandra H. Hernández, Diana I. Bowen, Sara De Los Santos Upton, and Amanda R. Martinez have assembled a collection of case studies that focus on health, media, rhetoric, identity, organizations, the environment, and academia. Contributors expand upon previous Latina/o/x Communication Studies scholarship by examining identity and academic experiences in our current political climate; the role of language, identity, and Latinidades in health and media contexts; and the role of social activism in rhetorical, environmental, organizational, and border studies contexts. Scholars of communication, Latin American Studies, rhetoric, and sociology will find this book particularly useful.

Reviews

  • Latina/o/x Communication Studies: Theories, Methods and Practice gives a comprehensive look at the varied landscape that is Latina/o/x studies in the field of communication. The editors and contributors bring readers through a variety of topics, doing a fully-researched deep dive and do an excellent job addressing an important, and often understudied, area. This book is a valuable resource for all scholars who are seeking to have a firm understanding of the importance and pervasiveness of Latina/o/x Communication Studies. Well written and well-constructed, this book is a reminder of the cultural values implicitly embedded in how scholars do what we do.

    Jennifer Willis-Rivera, University of Wisconsin River Falls

  • Written by and for a Latina/o/x audience, this important book offers insights missing from much of the academic literature on “Hispanic” populations. The editors provide a thorough and accessible overview of contemporary Latina/o/x communication studies and issues with insights from the field’s leading and most promising young scholars. Well written, organized, and accessible, this book makes a significant contribution to the field.

    Frank G. Pérez, University of Texas at El Paso

  • Revolutionary and revelatory, this book is an essential read for students, professors, staff, and administrators seeking positive change! The editors have curated a volume of important and timely works by Latina/o/x Communication scholars. This anthology advances illuminating insights through three main sections: Latina/o/x Communication: Theory, Method, & Representation, Latina/o/x Border Studies, Rhetorics, & Social Movements and Latina/o/x Experiences in Academic Contexts. This book provides readers with much needed inspiration at a paramount point in our history.

    Teresita (Tere) Garza, St. Edward's University
