Debra A. Castillo explores these questions by highlighting the contributions of Latinos\/as writing in Spanish and Spanglish. Beginning with the anonymously published 1826 novel Jicoténcal and ending with fiction published at the turn of the twenty-first century, the book details both the characters' and authors' struggles with how to define an American self. Writers from Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Mexico are featured prominently, alongside a sampling of those writers from other Latin American heritages (Peru, Colombia, Chile). Castillo concludes by offering some thoughts on U.S. curricular practice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42953968844875,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":1317.39,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/0023\/7387\/files\/9780791462980-1.jpg?v=1785347667","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.co.th\/products\/9780791462980","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Thailand","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
