Rezensionen
?Allatson?s Key Terms will be useful for any Latino/astudies course, and could be used effectively as a pedagogicalstarting point for building a class glossary. However, it alsoprovides a timely resource for Latino/cultural and literary studiesby engaging current scholarly conversations while also invitingprobing questions about what comes next for the field.? (LatinoStudies, October 2009)

"Allatson?s Key Terms is un glosario indispensable, unacontribución intelectual única! He has done for LatinoStudies what Raymond Williams? Keywords did for Cultural Studies.Bravo!" Alberto Sandoval-Sánchez, Mount HolyokeCollege

?Allatson has prepared a masterful encyclopedic registry ofseveral hundred key terms and concepts. In all cases, hisdefinitions are precise and accurate and grounded in an extensivebibliography of major sources.? David William Foster, ArizonaState University

?This book provides a safe path through the minefields ofcontemporary US Latino/a cultural practices. It is admirably clear,evenhanded, and passionate, with praiseworthy attention given tothe nuances of gender and sexual diversity.? Debra Castillo,Cornell University

"Allatson offers an introduction that differs in content frommaterial in the other works, since he considers the significance ofLatino/a studies outside the US context... Concise, well-documentedentries in a convenient one-volume work." Choice
