What would American literature look like in language other than
English, and what would Latin American literature look life if we
understood the United States to be a Latin American country and
took seriously the work by U.S. Latinos/as in Spanish? Debra A.
Castillo explores these questions by highlighting the contributions
of Latinos/as writing in Spanish and Spanish. Beginning with the
anonymously published 1826 novel "Jicotencal and ending with
fiction published at the turn of the twenty-first century, the book
details both the characters' and authors' struggles with how to
define an American self. Writers from Cuba. Puerto Rico, and Mexico
are featured prominently, alongside a sampling of those writers
from other Latin American heritages (Peru, Colombia, Chile).
Castillo concludes by offering some thoughts on U.S. curricular
practice.
