title = {Latina/o Discourse in Vernacular Spaces},
year = {2011},
note = {Taking up the charge to study discourses of marginalized groups, while
simultaneously extending scholarship about Latina/os in the field of
Communication, Latina/o Discourse in Vernacular Spaces: Somos de Una
Voz? provides the most current work examining the vernacular voices of
Latina/os. The editors of this diverse collection structure the book
along four topics_Locating Foundations, Citizenship and Belonging, The
Politics of Self-Representation, and Trans/National Voces_that are
guided by the organizing principle of voz/voces [voice/voces].
Voz/voces resonates not only in intellectual endeavors but also in
public arenas in which perceptions of Latina/os' being of one voice
circulate. The study of voz/voces proceeds from a variety of sites
including cultural myth, social movement, music, testimonios, a
website, and autoethnographic performance. By questioning and
addressing the politics of voz/voces, the essays collectively
underscore the complexity that shapes Latina/o multivocality.
Ultimately, the contours of Latina/o vernacular expressions call
attention to the ways that these unique communities continue to craft
identities that transform social understandings of who Latina/os are,
to engage in forms of resistance that alter relations of power, and to
challenge self- and dominant representations.},
