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.

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.

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.
