Encyclopedia of Latina and Latino Popular
April 14, 2005
A group of Arizona State University professors spent three years on a project that will encompass 400,000 words and 500 essays, along with images and photos, in the Encyclopedia of Latina and Latino Popular Culture in the United States. The two-volume set promises its readers a comprehensive look at the diversity among Latinos in the United States and examines well-known and lesser-known pioneers in literature, music, art, folklore, religion, geography, sports, politics and food. It is expected to come out in the fall. Guests are ASU Professor Dr. Cordelia Candelaria (General Editor) and Assistant Professor Dr. Peter Garcia (Senior Editor).
