ATRAVESADOS ESSAYS ON QUEER LATINX YOUNG ADULT LITERATURE

Shows how Latinx queer YA writers discard the ""same old story"" and offer critical representations of queerness that broaden YA writing and insist on the presence of queer teens of color. Draws on Chicana queer theorist Gloria Anzaldúa’s notion of ""atravesados"" to speak to the spectrum of queer youth Latinidades as they materialize in YA literature.
