The essays in this volume address questions of outsider identities and how these identities are shaped by mainstream myths around Chicanx and Latinx young people, particularly with the common stereotype of the struggling, underachieving inner-city teens. Contributors also grapple with how young adults reclaim what it means to be an outsider, weirdo, nerd, or goth, and how the reclamation of these marginalized identities expand conversations around authenticity and narrow understandings of what constitutes cultural identity. Included are analysis of such texts as I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter, Shadowshaper, Swimming While Drowning, and others. Addressed in the essays are themes of outsiders in Chicanx/Latinx childrenâs and young adult literature, and the contributors insist that to understand Latinx youth identities it is necessary to shed light on outsiders within an already marginalized ethnic group: nerds, goths, geeks, freaks, and others who might not fit within such Latinx popular cultural paradigms as the chola and cholo, identities that are ever-present in films, television, and the internet. 650 0 $a Outsiders in literature. 650 0 $a American fiction $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Young adult fiction, American $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American fiction $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 700 1 $a Boffone, Trevor, $e editor. 700 1 $a Herrera, Cristina $c (Chicano studies professor) $e editor. 700 1 $a McCall, Guadalupe Garcia, $e writer of foreword. 830 0 $a Children's Literature Association series 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240403011637.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020057.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6DCF7D28BC2911EAAC3CDF0297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
