\"\"<\/a>What would American literature look like in languages other than English, and what would Latin American literature look like if we understood the United States to be a Latin American country and took seriously the work by U.S. Latinos\/as in Spanish? Debra A. Castillo explores these questions by highlighting the contributions of Latinos\/as writing in Spanish and Spanglish. Beginning with the anonymously published 1826 novel Jicot\u00e9ncal and ending with fiction published at the turn of the twenty-first century, the book details both the characters’ and authors’ struggles with how to define an American self. Writers from Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Mexico are featured prominently, alongside a sampling of those writers from other Latin American heritages (Peru, Colombia, Chile). Castillo concludes by offering some thoughts on U.S. curricular practice.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
