| Summary: | Latin American and Latinx Philosophy: A Collaborative Introduction is a beginner's guide to canonical texts in Latin American and Latinx philosophy, providing the non-specialist with necessary historical and philosophical context, and demonstrating their contemporary relevance. It is written in jargon-free prose for students and professors who are interested in the subject, but who don't know where to begin. Each of the twelve chapters, written by a leading scholar in the field, examines influential texts that are readily available in English and introduces the reader to a period, topic, movement, or school that taken together provide a broad overview of the history, nature, scope and value of Latin American and Latinx philosophy. Although this volume is primarily intended for the reader without a background in the Latin American and Latinx tradition, specialists will also benefit from its many novelties, including an introduction to Aztec ethics, a critique of the Latino threat narrative, the legacy of Latin American philosophy in the Chicano movement, an overview of Mexican existentialism, Liberation philosophy and Latin American and Latinx feminisms, a philosophical critique of indigenism, a study of Latinx contributions to the philosophy of immigration and an examination of the intersection of race and gender in Latinx identity. |
