| المراجعة التحريرية | "With inspired juxtapositions, the editors give us a pathbreaking volume that contextualizes and historicizes their unexpected selections to reveal a too often unspoken genealogy of Los Angeles Latinx nonfiction."-Otto Santa Ana, professor in the Department of Chicana/o Studies at the University of California at Los Angeles -- Otto Santa Ana "This book will pump new life into future reviews of Los Angeles's literature, strengthen the city's grasp on the peoples and facts of its opaque history, and stimulate teachers to imagine, with their students, a better democracy for all. This finely written book, in both its critical vision and more than a dozen examples of liberating journalism, is a strong step toward an urban humanities that puts Latinx nonfiction writing about LA, for the first time maybe, into the 'We' of 'We the People' of the global city."-David Carrasco, Neil L. Rudenstine Professor of the Study of Latin America at Harvard Divinity School
-- David Carrasco "Ignacio Lopez-Calvo and Victor Valle have assembled an intriguing anthology of how and what Mexican Americans and other U.S. Latinx think about Los Angeles. Its other virtue, a provocative pair of essays on the city's literary culture, proposes a critical agenda for reimagining an urban practice of humanities at this time of anti-immigrant hysteria."-David William Foster, Regents' Professor of Spanish and Women and Gender Studies at Arizona State University and author of Sao Paulo: Perspectives on the City and Cultural Production
-- David William Foster "Whoever ventures into a course on Latino identity will be well served reading this volume in which one and all of its entries contain the keys as to why, after so many years, we continue feeling so close yet far from being American. In this book, Los Angeles serves not only as a global city but also a compendium of happiness and misery, due to the reiterated intents to immobilize us. Lopez Calvo and Valle confide in the chronicle. In times of uncertain journalism, it is more reliable."-Revista Iberoamericana * Revista Iberoamericana * "This selection of writings from sixteen outstanding contributors presents a refreshing view of the Latinx experience in Los Angeles."-Martin Camps, Hispania -- Martin Camps * Hispania * "Latinx Writing Los Angeles extends the archive of LA literature in provocative and meaningful ways."-Monika Kaup, American Literary History -- Monika Kaup * American Literary History * "A vital addition to Latinx studies."-Y. Fuentes, Choice -- Y. Fuentes * Choice * |
