The Ilan Stavans Library of Latino Civilization
presents a diverse and representative selection of essays on the most studied topics, people, and issues in high schools and universities across the country. The series, the first of its kind, explores Latino life, culture, and history in the United States in its multiple facets, with its ramifications in the Americas, the Caribbean Basin, and the Iberian Peninsula. Drawing from the most significant articles-including peer-review essays, interviews, and reviews-books in the series bring together the best scholarship on the Latino experience in America. The series offers an expansive breadth of coverage, with topics spanning from religion, politics, and social issues, to cinema, literature, music, cuisine, and social life. Each volume includes an introduction by Ilan Stavans, a chronology of events relating to the topic, and a detailed bibliography to aid students in further research.
