You know you've made it as an author when you can snag your book at Target (along with the Tide and Hefty bags!) ...

I know it's ridiculous, but it gave me a kind of thrill that Target is selling my new book, Talking #BrownTV, written with Fede Aldama, aka @ProfessorLatinx!

Viva the Latinx browning of Target--or, as we call it in Laredo, Texas, Targét (Tar-Jay)...https://t.co/ZcNNEECyYG pic.twitter.com/702H85wMTb

Talking #browntv
Latinas and Latinos on the Screen

Frederick Luis Aldama
William Anthony Nericcio

Conversation on the representations of Latina/os in American TV and film in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

“Talking #browntv wakes the world to the urgency for televisual media to willfully recreate the complexity and diversity of our Latinx communities.” —Aitana Vargas, award-winning journalist for the LA Times, BBC, and CNN Expansión

“My Dinner with Andre, except with two sassy Solons waxing wise and wacky on Slowpoke Rodriguez, Superman as Mexico’s savior, and other highs and lows of Mexican muses in American pop culture. Nomás falta the Tapatio on this intellectual popcorn!” —Gustavo Arellano, author of Taco USA: How Mexican Food Conquered America

Frederick Luis Aldama is Arts and Humanities Distinguished Professor and Director of LASER at The Ohio State University and the author, coauthor, or editor of more than thirty books, including Tales from La Vida: A Latinx Comics Anthology (Mad Creek Books, 2018).

What is ¡MEXTASY!

Mextasy: Seductive Hallucinations of Latina/o Mannequins Prowling the American Unconscious is a traveling art show/exhibit based on the work of William "Memo" Nericcio and Guillermo Nericcio García. Mextasy both reflects and expands upon Nericcio's 2007 book with UT Press, Tex[t]-Mex: Seductive Hallucinations of the Mexican in America. In addition to racist artifacts from American mass culture (the bread and butter of Uncle Sam's unconscious), the show also features works that "xicanosmotic," that is, works by Mexican-American artists where the delicious tattoo of the Mexican/US frontera is writ large as in the deliriously delicious semiotic tracings of Perry Vasquez, Izel Vargas, and Marisela Norte.

The traveling show has previously toured at Adrian College, UCLA, Ann Arbor, Michigan at the University of Michigan; San Ysidro, California (as Xicanoholic) at theFront, Casa Familiar; McAllen, Texas at South Texas College's Pecan campus Art Gallery; Laredo, Texas at the the Laredo Center of the Arts; at a April 8, 2011 opening at the Kamakakūokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies, University of Hawai'i at Manoa; at the Fullerton Public Library with Gustavo Arellano hosting, at San Antonio College for a Tex[t]-Mex reading/signing and an exclusive South Texas MEXTASY exhibition (September 22, 2011), and at CMAS, the University of Texas at Austin. In late 2011, Mextasy traveled to the University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, and to Western University, London, Ontario. It's latest exhibition will be at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

Mextasy was originally curated by South Texas College (STC) Art and Art History Professor Rachael Freyman Brown, with the assistance of Amanda Alejos (not to mention the meddling of the artist, Guillermo Nericcio García).
