JOLLAS Special Issue Call for Manuscripts
Guest Editors: Drs. Oscar Jimenez-Castellanos and Sharina Maíllo Pozo, University of Georgia and Yami Rodriguez, Emory University
The purpose of the special issue is to critically (re)examine and challenge the mainstream historical interpretations of the U.S. South, which focuses on the “Black and White paradigm” yet largely ignores Latines. Given the current social junctures, reconstructing and unearthing new narratives of the U.S. South centering Latines is vital to better understand and contextualize the contemporary conditions of Latine communities in the U.S. South and to depict the history of the U.S. South more accurately. This special issue will be a useful resource to shift the scholarship on Latines in the U.S. South
