In light of current and projected demographic changes in the U.S.,
this book examines the attention paid to Latina/o youth from
mainstream media conglomerates and the subsequent impact of this
attention. In-depth interviews conducted within a family setting
provide a rare glimpse into respondents' media consumption patterns
and process of reception, and explain the ways in which the media
are woven into their daily lives. The book critiques the tendency
of mainstream media to reify and contain a Latina/o identity that
is then sold back to youth in ways that limit Latino/a agency.
Throughout the interviews, young people articulate a hybrid
identity highlighting their bicultural experiences. Listening to
Latina/o Youth ultimately recommends opening up the possibilities
of representation to encourage the acceptance of new voices that
challenge the current modes of media production.
