"Latino USA" represents the culmination of Ilan Stavans' lifelong
determination to meet the challenges of capturing the joys,
nuances, and multiple dimensions of Latino culture within the
context of the English language. In this cartoon history of
Latinos, Stavans also seeks to combine the solemnity of so-called
"serious literature" and history with the inherently theatrical and
humorous nature of the comics.
Stavans represents Hispanic civilization as a fiesta of types,
archetypes, and stereotypes. These multiple, at times contradictory
voices, each narrating various episodes of Latino history from a
unique perspective, combine to create a carnivalesque rhythm, which
is democratic and impartial. "Latino USA," like the history it so
entertainingly relates, is a dazzling kaleidoscope of irreverence,
wit, subversion, anarchy, politics, humanism, celebration, and
serious and responsible history.
