"""In Latinx Belonging, Natalia Deeb-Sossa and Jennifer Bickham Mendez have produced a timely edited volume that brings together an impressive range of contributions from emerging and established scholars in the interdisciplinary field of Latinx studies. Latinx Belonging shines a light on Latinx strategies for community building, belonging, and joy in the face of anti-Latinx, nativist, and white supremacist violence and exclusion. This volume offers historically informed scholarship that highlights contemporary trends in both oppression and resistance, while also attending to the problematic glossing over of inter-Latinx difference and ways that whiteness is often reproduced through Latinidad. This volume will be a great resource for educators in Latinx studies and adjacent fields."" --Maurice Magaña, University of Arizona ""The term Latinx has gained additional traction in recent years, given adopters' goals for more inclusive terminology to describe our community. The chapters in this extraordinary and timely collection provide depth in the intersectional identities of Latinx peoples in the United States who are women-identified, queer, trans, undocumented, Black, and/or Indigenous. They offer important insights into the materiality of their experiences as well as abundant hope in considering the resistance and creativity present in the processes of community building.""--Francisco Villegas, co-editor of Critical Schooling: Transformative Theory and Practice"
