      abstract = {The Latino Body tells the story of the United States  Latino body politic and its relation to the state: how the  state configures Latino subjects and how Latino subjects  have in turn altered the state. Lázaro Lima charts the  interrelated groups that define themselves as Latinos and  examines how these groups have responded to calls for unity  and nationally shared conceptions of American cultural  identity. He contends that their responses, in times of  cultural or political crisis, have given rise to profound  cultural transformations, enabling the so-called "Latino  subject" to emerge.Analyzing a variety of cultural,  literary, artistic, and popular texts from the nineteenth  century to the present, Lima dissects the ways in which the  Latino body has been imagined, dismembered, and reimagined  anew, providing one of the first comprehensive accounts of  the construction of Latino cultural identity in the United  States.},
