Latinos comprise the fastest-growing population in the U.S., and
that means more Latino readers at the library. In addition, works
written by Latinos, whether written in or translated into English,
have become a vibrant and growing body of literature that is of
great interest to all readers as well as literary scholars. Yet,
there are few tools to guide readers and the professionals who work
with them through this expanding terrain.
The primary purpose of this guide is to help readers and those
who advise them find enjoyable leisure reading material. Focusing
on popular works by Latino authors, i.e. U.S. authors of Latino
heritage; and authors from Latin American countries or Spain, the
book organizes and describes approximately 750 titles by genre,
subgenre and theme, providing readers with lists of like reads.
Complete bibliographic information is provided for each title,
along with a concise plot summary, a subject list, award
information, a brief quote from the book, and a list of similar
reads.
Other features of the guide include an introduction to Latino
literature, a discussion of RA services in a multicultural society,
trends in Latino publishing, and a discussion of pertinent ethnic
terminology. In addition, you'll find guidelines for selection of
Latino Literature, information sources, publishers, and
organizations and societies. Further access is provided by indexes
to authors, titles, subjects, character names, and settings .
