Including the Chicano southwest of California, Texas, Arizona,
Colarado, New Mexico, and Nevada, together with the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico, and its Manhattan offshoot, Spanish Harlem, the Cuban
America of Florida, as well as the many smaller communities whose
origins lie in Central and South America, and the Spanish-speaking
Caribbean, Hispanic and Latino Americans are now the largest ethnic
minority in the United States. Indeed, the USA is now the second
largest Spanish-speaking country in the world. As serious scholarly
work on and around the literary output of Hispanic and Latino
Americans flourishes as never before, this new four-volume
collection, co-published by Routledge and Edition Synapse, meets
the need for an authoritative reference work to help users navigate
and make sense of the subject's vast literature and the continuing
explosion in research output. US Latino/a Writing is edited by A.
Robert Lee, former Professor of American Literature at Nihon
University, Tokyo, Japan. His expert selection brings together the
best and most influential critical assessments, evaluations, and
other scholarship in one easy-to-use 'mini library'. It also
includes a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editor,
which places the collected material in its historical and
intellectual context, as well as detailed bibliographies and
timelines. It is destined to be valued by researchers and students
as an essential work of reference. ----- The editor of this
collection, A. Robert Lee, is a leading expert in the field. He is
Professor of American Literature at Nihon University, Tokyo. His
Multicultural American Literature: Comparative Black, Native,
Latino/a and Asian American Fictions (2003) won the American Book
Award in 2001. His recent work includes Modern American Counter
Writing: Beats, Outriders, Ethnics (Routledge, 2010) and a
four-volume collection on Native American Writing (Routledge and
Edition Synapse, 2011).
