Frederick Luis Aldama. Co-author, Ilan Stavans.
¡Muy Pop! Conversations on Latino Popular Culture asks: What is Hispanic pop culture? How does it change over time and from region to region? What is the relationship between highbrow and popular culture in the Hispanophone world? Does it make sense to approach the whole Hispanophone world as homogenized when understanding Latino popular culture? What are the differences between nations, classes, ethnic groups, religious communities, and so on? And what distinguishes Latino popular culture in the U.S.? Aldama with Ilan Stavans analyze a number of different Latino cultural phenomena such as lucha libre, telenovelas, comic strips, comedy, baseball, the novela rosa and the detective novel, sci-fi, and advertising, among other pop cultural phenomena.
