  abstract: The first- and second-generation Latinx authors discussed in Walk the Barrio use their US hometowns as both setting and stylistic inspiration, utilizing various formal techniques to mirror their literary location to the real one. The book presents a "barriography" for each work, which includes first-person reportage, archival research, human geography, relevant theories of space and interviews with the author, neighbors or local historians. Authors considered include Helena María Viramontes, Salvador Plascencia, Héctor Tobar, William Archila, Junot Díaz, Angie Cruz and Richard Blanco.
