The manuscript focuses on analyzing the works of Latinx authors who write about the city in which they were raised and how growing up in these environments shaped their lives, their communities, and their future. Their fictional work helps us understand how the human and cultural tapestry of the Latinx community is inextricably connected to the spatial transformations taking place in many cities across the country, most notably within the cities the authors write about in their narratives. This is particularly true when the city is represented through a fictional narrative, which is full of detailed information about the realities of structural inequality in education, residential segregation, urban cultural identity, discrimination, experiences of exile, oppression, urban desires, integration, and disillusionment. The main purpose is to analyze the symbolic realities lived by the characters in order to understand how Latino families and communities are experiencing displacement under instituted neoliberal policies, a process known as development and progress or gentrification"-- $c Provided by publisher. 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 650 0 $a American literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a City and town life in literature. 650 0 $a Cities and towns in literature. 650 0 $a Psychic trauma in literature. 650 0 $a Marginality, Social, in literature. 651 0 $a United States $x Hispanic influences. $x Hispanic influences. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Lopez-Gonzalez, Crescencio, $t The Llatinx urban condition $d Lanham : Lexington Books, 2019. $z 9781498570275 $w (DLC) 2019041645 830 0 $a Reading trauma and memory 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317025908.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200402014538.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=689D3A8074A711EA8EBE956E97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
