Latinx Media, an open-access textbook, delves into the vibrant phenomenon of film, television, and digital media by and about the Latinx community, introducing readers to the core concepts in each of these media studies fields. Featuring thematic chapters by both distinguished and emerging scholars, the book uses media as a lens to illuminate the diversity and complexity of the US Latinx community in the past and present, examining questions of national origin, race/color, gender, and sexuality. It also includes profiles of prominent Latinx creatives that can be used as models for classroom assignments, plus a roundtable discussion featuring four scholars of Latinx media.
