Latinx: The Future is Now
Edited by Nicole Guidotti-Hernandez and Lorgia Garcia-Peña
Read more about the series
Latinx: The Future Is Now is an interdisciplinary series devoted to the evolving field of Latina/o/x studies, including Central American, Afro-Latinx, and Asian-Latinx studies. Situated at the nexus of cultural, performance, historical, food, environmental, and textual studies, the series will focus on ways in which the racial, cultural, and social formations of historical Latinx communities can engage and enhance scholarship across geographies and nationalities. The series editors invite projects that consider the multiple queer and gender-fluid possibilities that are embodied in the “x”; projects that have a feminist critique of patriarchy at the center of their intellectual work; projects that deploy a relational approach to ethnic and national groups; and projects that address the overlapping dynamics of gender, race, sexual, and national identities. Submissions or queries may be directed to the series editors, Nicole Guidotti-Hernandez, nguidot@emory.edu and Lorgia Garcia-Peña, Lorgia.Garcia_Pena@tufts.edu in addition to Senior Acquisitions Editor, Kerry Webb, kwebb@utpress.utexas.edu.
Historia USA
Edited by Luis Alvarez, Carlos Kevin Blanton, and Lorrin Thomas
Read more about the series
Historia USA advances the interpretive and methodological innovations that are generating vibrant new historical narratives about Latina/o communities in the United States. The series prioritizes histories constructed within broad, interdisciplinary frameworks rather than discrete studies focused on a single group or discipline; narratives that account for the hemispheric and transnational dimensions of the US Latina/o experience; and scholarship that maps the experience of Latinx groups around the nation and traces their complicated histories far beyond standard and separate narratives. Submissions or queries may be directed to Senior Acquisitions Editor, Kerry Webb, kwebb@utpress.utexas.edu.
Visualidades: Studies in Latin American Visual History
Edited by Dr. Jessica Stites Mor and Ernesto Capello
Read more about the series
Visualidades: Studies in Latin American Visual History seeks to further the exploration of visual history as a distinct field of inquiry on Latin America in dialogue with other disciplinary fields. This series conceptualizes visual history as the study of images and the past in the broadest sense and asks how images have shaped Latin American cultures. The series editors invite projects that both ground visual forms of communication in the rich and complex histories through which they took shape and that examine the direct agency of images in crafting historical narratives, stimulating change, and reshaping thought. Proposals and queries may be sent to the series editors, Professor Ernesto Capello at ecapello@macalester.edu and Professor Jessica Stites Mor at jessica.stites-mor@ubc.ca, and the acquiring editor Kerry Webb: kwebb@utpress.utexas.edu.
