      abstract = {"The Routledge Concise History of Latino/a Literature  presents the first comprehensive overview of these popular,  experimental and diverse literary cultures. Frederick Luis  Aldama traces a historical path through Latino/a  literature, examining both the historical and political  contexts of the works, as well as their authors and the  readership. He also provides an enlightening analysis of:  the differing sub-groups of Latino/a literature, including  Mexican American, Cuban American, Puerto Rican American,  Dominican American, and Central and South American émigré  authors ; established and emerging literary trends such as  the postmodern, historical, chica-lit storytelling formats  and the graphic novel ; key literary themes, including  gender and sexuality, feminist and queer voices, and  migration and borderlands. The author's methodology and  interpretation of a wealth of information will put this  rich and diverse area of literary culture into a new light  for scholars. The book's student-friendly features such as  a glossary, guide to further reading, explanatory text  boxes and chapter summaries, make this the ideal text for  anyone approaching the area for the first  time."--Publisher's website.},
