Jonathan Rosa's brilliant theorizing of the ideological codependency of race and language, grounded in his rich ethnographic work with Latinx youth, is excitingly fresh and urgently needed. Looking Like a Language, Sounding Like a Race is a powerful rejoinder to researchers, educators, journalists, and politicians who seek to control and contain the complex meanings of Latinidad. -- Mary Bucholtz, Professor of Linguistics, University of California, Santa Barbara This is the book that scholars of language, Latinx studies and comparative racial studies have been waiting for. It is an essential volume for understanding the co-naturalization of language and race and the key role language plays in the racialization of Latinx youth. Rosaas araciolinguistica approach provides a welcomed pathway for understanding, and transforming, systems of domination and should serve as model for all linguistic analyses. -- Arlene Da!vila, Professor of Anthropology and American Studies, New York University
