Latina/o popular culture has experienced major growth and change
with the expanding demographic of Latina/os in mainstream media. In
The Routledge Companion to Latina/o Pop Culture, contributors pay
serious critical attention to all facets of Latina/o popular
culture including TV, films, performance art, food, lowrider
culture, theatre, photography, dance, pulp fiction, music, comic
books, video games, news, web, and digital media, healing rituals,
quinceneras, and much more. Features include: consideration of
differences between pop culture made by and about Latina/os;
comprehensive and critical analyses of various pop cultural forms;
concrete and detailed treatments of major primary works from
children's television to representations of dia de los muertos; new
perspectives on the political, social, and historical dynamic of
Latina/o pop culture; Chapters select, summarize, explain,
contextualize and assess key critical interpretations,
perspectives, developments and debates in Latina/o popular cultural
studies. A vitally engaging and informative volume, this
compliation of wide-ranging case studies in Latina/o pop culture
phenomena encourages scholars and students to view Latina/o pop
culture within the broader study of global popular culture.
