As they do in many urban neighborhoods, Latinos from multiple backgrounds come together in Lopez-Gonzalez's analysis of the birth of a Latinx urban identity through the inner-city experience. The Latinx Urban Condition is a timely and important contribution to the cultural study of Latinos in the cities.--Manuel Martin Rodriguez, University of California, Merced In this expansive study of Latinx literature and culture, Crescencio Lopez-Gonzalez investigates how race and capitalism undergird neoliberal policies that gentrify, uproot, and displace Mexican-American, Puerto Rican, Dominican-American, and Cuban-American communities. Arguing that urbanization shapes the experiences of Latinx writers and cultural producers, Lopez-Gonzalez's thorough study deftly and critically examines one of the central concerns of Latinx literature: the desire to create space and ultimately, of finding home.--Cristina Herrera, California State University, Fresno
