The first guide of its kind, this book provides tools for teaching Latino/a Literature in dialogue with trends of a hemispheric, postcolonial, and transnational nature. Essays by established scholars offer a comprehensive approach, attending to how formal techniques give idiosyncratic and particular shape to literature by and about Latinos/as. Accessible to different levels of instruction, chapters focus on the teaching of the novel, short story, graphic novel, film, plays, poetry, and performance art in a variety of established and emerging storytelling shapes: postmodernism, magical realism, science fiction, young adult and children's fiction, and others.
