Smart and engaging, accessible and comprehensive, this is the best starting place to learn the history of Latinx representation in U.S. film and television. Indispensable!" - Charles Ramírez Berg, Joe M. Dealey, Sr. Professor in Media Studies at UT Austin and author of The Classical Mexican Cinema: The Poetics of the Exceptional Golden Age Films  "When media representations remain problematic and often violent in their engagement with growing U.S. Latinx populations, Reel Latinxs offers useful cartographies and thoughtful analyses, shedding light on the strengths and shortcomings in current visual and media culture. In engaging with questions of genre, body, gender, and race, this book provides a vital departing point for necessary conversations regarding Latinxs and media." - Ignacio M.
