The Latinx Philosophy Reader
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-47288-1 (ISBN)
The editors’ detailed introduction orients readers with an overview of the origins of the field of Latinx philosophy, a guide to terminology, and a history of the idea of Latinx identity in the United States. The volume’s 35 readings are made up of both widely read and cited articles from journals and books and newly commissioned contributions from the leading voices in the field. All of them are organized into seven thematic units in contemporary Latinx philosophy:
Social Identity
Mestizaje and Indigeneity
Cross-Cultural Challenges
Epistemology, Phenomenology, and Coloniality
Language and Communication
Immigration and Citizenship
Metaphilosophy
Each of these seven units includes its own introduction that connects each reading to the overarching themes of the unit and volume. Throughout, the readings provide an accessible entry point to readers who are new to philosophy. The texts generate opportunities for philosophical reflection without requiring readers to consult additional resources to grasp the major insights. They can be read in any order, allowing for ready adaptation to the particular interests of instructors and students.
