Engage essays that are profoundly theological and resolutely social

In this collection of essays, contributors seek to analyze the vision of the critical task espoused by Latino/a critics. The project explores how such critics approach their vocation as critics in the light of their identity as members of the Latino/a experience and reality. A variety of critics--representing a broad spectrum of the Latino/a American formation, along various axes of identity--address the question in whatever way they deem appropriate: What does it mean to be a Latino/a critic?
