Abstract
Lugo-Lugo’s chapter focuses on the changing nature of Latina/o racialization in twenty-first-century America as envisioned by US popular media. She focuses on the concept of the Latinidad, which is a social construct brought into existence by the collaboration and collusion of external (i.e., such as popular culture and the census form) and internal forces (i.e., anyone and everyone who identifies as Latina/o). Lugo-Lugo argues that depictions and representations in popular culture reflect ideas held dear by the larger society, and, as such have the tendency to become turned into the realities that Latinas/os have to maneuver around, push through, contextualize, reinvent, and/or adopt—sometimes simultaneously.
