Spanglish-a hybrid of Spanish and English-is intricately
interwoven with the history and culture of Latinos, the largest and
fastest-growing minority group in the United States. With deep
roots that trace back to the U.S. annexation of Mexican territories
in the early to mid-19th century, Spanglish can today be heard in
as far-flung places as urban cities and rural communities, on
playgrounds and in classrooms around the country. This volume
features the most significant articles including peer-review
essays, interviews, and reviews to bring together the best
scholarship on the topic. Learn about the historical and cultural
contexts of the slang as well as its permeation into the pop
culture vernacular. Ten signed articles, essays, and interviews are
included in the volume.
