Summary
This chapter explores new developments in Latinx/Chicanx literature and thought, focusing on three interrelated issues. The chapter first discusses the adoption of the term “Latinx.” Then, the author highlights recent work from previously underrepresented communities, including Afro- Latinx, Central American-American, and undocumented writers. The chapter concludes with an examination of innovation in the realm of genre, including memoir and young adult literature. Throughout, particular attention is given to the role of gender and sexuality alongside questions of race and nationality.
