When the Daily Fishwrap Shrinks the Sunday Comics So Small Something Has To Be Done About It! Lalo Alcaraz's and Junco Canche's LA CUCARACHA Edition!
The otherwise readable daily fishwrap here in San Diego, @sdut, prints @laloalcaraz's and @juncocanche's LA CUCARACHA so tiny on Sundays that I can't read it even with my glasses--hold off on the old folks jokes! In any event, as a public service, I repost it here! #mextasy pic.twitter.com/ixNh9IQ9zW

Save Cash + Snag a World Premiere Special Offer for Frederick Luis Aldama's & William Anthony Nericcio's New Book, Talking #BrownTV: Latinas and Latinos on the Screen ... Pure #Mextasy!!!
Here's the advance skinny on #browntv:
Talking #BrownTV
Latinas and Latinos on the Screen
Frederick Luis Aldama & William Anthony Nericcio
Like two friends sitting down in front of the television together, in Talking #browntv, Frederick Luis Aldama and William Anthony Nericcio dialogue about the representations of Latina/os in American television and film from the twentieth century to the present day. One part conversation, one part critique, one part visual cultural studies, and one part rant against the culture industry profiting off warped caricatures of Latina/o subjectivities, Aldama and Nericcio analyze the ways in which Latinx performers have been mediated—with varying degrees of complexity—on the American screen. A comprehensive review of the history of Mexicans, Mexican Americans, Hispanics, Chicana/os, Latina/os, and Latinx performers in television and film, Talking #browntv boldly interrogates one of the largest paradoxes in the history of American television: Why are there so few Latina/os on television, and why, when they do appear, are they so often narcos, maids, strumpets, tarts, flakes, and losers?“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).
William Anthony Nericcio is Professor and Director of MALAS at San Diego State University. He is the author of Tex[t]-Mex: Seductive Hallucinations of the “Mexican” in America.
