This new series from The Press focuses on the Latino experience in its totality as set within a global dimension. OSUP and the series editors are committed to building scholarship that showcases the variety and vitality of the presence and significant influence of Latinos in the shaping of the culture, history, politics and policies, and language of the Americas—and beyond. The series will publish short and midsized (35,000–85,000 word) single- authored and edited books intended to bring different analytical approaches to bear on the exploration of all facets of the Latino/a experience within a global dimension. We welcome scholarship regarding the arts, literature, philosophy, popular culture, history, politics, law, and language studies, among others. The series editorial board comes from a range of disciplines and universities, ensuring that books in the series will draw from scholars from around the world.
