Reviews for The Latino Nineteenth Century. Archival Encounters in American Literary History.

"The collections expansion of American literary history is also evident in the inclusion of Central American textualities, which have been overlooked in most fields of study. In sum, the 15 essays Lazo and Aleman bring together offer new frameworks to better understand and examine 19th-century Latina/o hemispheric movements."

"The Latino Nineteenth Century builds on the past two ... Read moredecades of Latina/o scholarship that focuses on historicizing the place of Latina/os in the United States. The book thus excavates the history of Latina/os in seemingly unlikely regions such as New England and cities such as Philadelphia. Further, it illuminates the need to examine Spanish language texts rather than relying on works in English. Expanding the corpus of materials in this way also sheds light on the longer literary histories of Latina/o literature rather than relying on periodizations that ground Latina/o literature in the social movements of the mid-twentieth century. As The Latino Nineteenth Century reminds us, Latina/os existed in the United States well before the Chicano Movement. Further, to fully grasp the range of Latina/o experiences in the United States, several essays in this collection point to the necessity of examining US-Latin American relations. An impressive anthology that demonstrates the diversity and vitality of this period, The Latino Nineteenth Century makes necessary interventions into nineteenth-century American Studies, Latina/o Studies, and Latin American Studies."
MELUS: Multi-Ethnic Literature of the United States
"The nineteenth-century in the context of the extraordinary triangle presented here of Latina and Latino writers and intellectuals in the United States, Latin America, and the transatlantic may come to us in fragments, but what a marvel it is to bring together this dazzling constellation of scholars who highlight the historical dimensions of 'the Latino/a' and speak to the concurrent traditions, canons, moments, and tensions that have long been neglected and overlooked. Excitement for The Latino Nineteenth Century will have no bounds: this is sure to become a treasured volume."
Claudia Milian, author of Latining America: Black-Brown Passages and the Coloring of Latino/a Studies "The Latino Nineteenth Century is expressive of the new directions in Latinx studies, and demonstrates the capaciousness of this field in accommodating nineteenth-century literary studies, and not the other way around. Indeed, the collection as a whole demonstrates that the Latinx nineteenth century is not a smaller, narrow subfield of this period, but rather constitutive of and formative to the field of nineteenth-century US literary studies. The editors of this volume challenge us to rethink our own orientations in C19 so as to think and teach in this field more expansively."
