Latinx TV offers an accessible and critical guide to television both by and about Latinxs, tracing the representation of Latinxs from the 1950s through to the present day.
At once comprehensive in coverage and detailed and specific in examples analyzed, Latinx TV provides key insights into the study of Latinx TV as shaped within historical, social, cultural, regional, and global contexts. Throughout the volume, award-winning scholar Frederick Luis Aldama summarizes, explains, and contextualizes key critical concepts, perspectives, developments, and debates in Latinx media studies. Numerous genres are covered, from comedy, animated cartoons, science fiction and fantasy, and drama, to reality TV. Analogue, digital, and internet technologies in television production and consumption are considered, including the way TikTok, YouTube, and FAST channels that have enabled Latinx creators to build their own serialized storyworlds without network permission. Thematic analyses engage issues of contemporary relevance, including urbanization, immigration, family life, language, politics, gender, sexuality, class, race, and ethnicity.
Latinx TV is essential reading for any media studies students and scholars seeking a deeper understanding of the history of US Latinx representation on television.
