The Routledge Companion to Latina/o Media provides students and scholars with an indispensable overview of the domestic and transnational dynamics at play within multi-lingual Latina/o media. The book examines both independent and mainstream media via race and gender in its theoretical and empirical engagement with questions of production, access, policy, representation, and consumption. Contributions consider a range of media formats including television, radio, film, print media, music video and social media, with particular attention to understudied fields such as audience and production studies.
"This must-have collection represents the definite resource on the present state and future directions of Latino/a media studies, and makes amply clear that Latino/a media scholars are at the vanguard of the most cutting edge interventions in media and communication studies today." –Arlene Dávila, New York University
"Cepeda and Casillas’ volume is a milestone in the study of Latin@ and media/communication studies. Written by well-established and emerging scholars coming from the humanities and the social sciences, the collection invite the readers to learn about a broad array of areas—from immigrants’ media consumption, to community journalism, to Latin@ web series, to Latino rock." –Yeidy M. Rivero, University of Michigan
