Description

What elements are present for a body of writing to be considered Latina/o? Through the analysis of nine recent Latina/o novels, Karen Christian melds the theory of "performativity" with the latest scholarship on ethnicity and ethnic literature to create a framework for viewing identity as a continuous process that cannot be reduced to static categories.
