Transglocal Barrio Politics --About the Contributors --IndexFreighted with meaning, “el barrio” is both place and metaphor for Latino populations in the United States. Though it has symbolized both marginalization and robust and empowered communities, the construct of el barrio has often reproduced static understandings of Latino life; they fail to account for recent demographic shifts in urban centers such as New York, Chicago, Miami, and Los Angeles, and in areas outside of these historic communities.Beyond El Barrio features new scholarship that critically interrogates how Latinos are portrayed in media, public policy and popular culture, as well as the material conditions in which different Latina/o groups build meaningful communities both within and across national affiliations. Drawing from history, media studies, cultural studies, and anthropology, the contributors illustrate how despite the hypervisibility of Latinos and Latin American immigrants in recent political debates and popular culture, the daily lives of America’s new “majority minority” remain largely invisible and mischaracterized.Taken together, these essays provide analyses that not only defy stubborn stereotypes, but also present novel narratives of Latina/o communities that do not fit within recognizable categories. In this way, this book helps us to move “beyond el barrio”: beyond stereotype and stigmatizing tropes, as well as nostalgic and uncritical portraits of complex and heterogeneous range of Latina/o lives.Hispanic AmericansSocial conditionsHispanic AmericansSocial life and customsHispanic American neighborhoodsCommunity lifeUnited StatesCity and town lifeUnited StatesElectronic books.Hispanic AmericansSocial conditions.Hispanic AmericansSocial life and customs.Hispanic American neighborhoods.Community lifeCity and town life973/.0468Burgos AdrianJr.,1969-authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1032526Pérez Gina M.1968-1034186Guridy Frank Andre1034187Burgos AdrianJr.,1969-1032526MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458004203321Beyond el barrio2453161UNINA
