Habell-Pallan & Romero/Latino/A Popular Culture

Abstract: A 3 page essay that discusses made in the introduction to the text Latino/A Popular Culture (2002). Editors Michelle Habell-Pallan and Mary Romero make a number of pertinent points on this subject. First of all, the authors point out that the term "Latino" is "politically charged," defined in different ways by various diverse communities (Habell-Pallan and Romero 3). Also, the authors make the point that popular culture not only addresses "ethnic and racial identity" and how it is "contested, reproduced and transformed," but popular culture also represents an area in society in which the struggle for equality is actively engaged (Habell-Pallan and Romero 6). The writer discusses these points. No additional sources cited.
