Description: Recent Latinx literature has challenged our existing understandings of key concepts in the field and rearticulated the literary tradition and its relation to United States, hemispheric, and global literatures. This new body of work has also introduced new concepts for understanding Latinx subjectivity, politics, and culture. Each participant pairs with a work written after 2010 and with a keyword to explore new horizons for Latinx literary studies.
