We are in the midst of Hispanic Heritage month, which runs from September 15th till October 15th, so it's time to celebrate! 🥳
This month-long celebration is a wonderful opportunity to recognize and appreciate the rich cultural heritage and contributions of the Hispanic people within literature. We decided to celebrate this year by having one of our esteemed Professors, Raul Ybarra, give us some reading recommendations. Professor Ybarra teaches our thought-provoking English 223L course titled Latino/Latina/Latinx Literature! This course delves into the vibrant and diverse world of Latinx literature, exploring the experiences, perspectives, and voices of Latinx authors and their impact on American literature.
