The history of Latina/o participation and representation in
American television Whose stories are told on television? Who are
the heroes and heroines, held up as intriguing, lovable, and
compelling? Which characters are fully realized, rather than being
cardboard villains and sidekicks? And who are our storytellers? The
first-ever account of Latino/a participation and representation in
US English-language television, Latino TV: A History offers a
sweeping study of key moments of Chicano/a and Latino/a
representation and authorship since the 1950s. Drawing on archival
research, interviews with dozens of media professionals who worked
on or performed in these series, textual analysis of episodes and
promotional materials, and analysis of news media coverage, Mary
Beltran examines Latina/o representation in everything from
children's television Westerns of the 1950s, Chicana/o and Puerto
Rican activist-led public affairs series of the 1970s, and sitcoms
that spanned half a century, to Latina and Latino-led series in the
2000s and 2010s on broadcast, cable, and streaming outlets,
including George Lopez, Ugly Betty, One Day at a Time, and Vida.
Through the exploration of the histories of Latina/o television
narratives and the authors of those narratives, Mary Beltran sheds
important light on how Latina/os have been included-and, more
often, not-in the television industry and in the stories of the
country writ large.
