Produktbeschreibung

"In this outstanding book, Deborah Paredez teaches us important lessons about the politics of Latinidad. She makes insightful connections between Selena's memorialization and contemporary issues including U.S. policy toward Latinos, the continued relevance of Texas's colonial and conquest history, the political economy of NAFTA, and even strategies for containing urban popular expression."--Arlene Davila, author of "Latinos, Inc.: The Marketing and Making of a People"
