Latinx Media

By: Navitski, Rielle

Over the past two decades, the Latinx population has grown faster in the South than any other region of the United States, and Georgia now ranks among the top ten US states in terms of the size of its Latinx community. Responding to our region's changing demographic profile, this open-access textbook delves into the vibrant phenomenon of film, television, and digital media by and about the Latinx community, introducing readers to the core concepts in each of these media studies fields. Featuring thematic chapters by both distinguished and emerging scholars, the book uses media as a lens to illuminate the diversity and complexity of the US Latinx community in the past and present, delving into questions of national origin, race/color, gender, and sexuality. It also includes profiles of prominent Latinx creatives that can be used as models for classroom assignments.
