Vigil's interdisciplinary study, \u003ci\u003ePublic Negotiations: Gender and Journalism in Contemporary US Latina\/o Literature\u003c\/i\u003e examines how the boundaries of the Latina\/o public sphere are negotiated through mass media. Focusing on a wide range of twentieth- and twenty-first-century Latina\/o literary texts that feature Latina\/o media figures-works by Lucha Corpi, Oscar Zeta Acosta, Cherríe Moraga, and Rubén Salazar, among others-Vigil examines the relationship between Latina\/o media and Latina\/o publics and reflects on how literature demonstrates a sustained interest in this relationship.\u003cbr\u003e Vigil also reveals how these conversations inevitably engage with gender concerns, showing how the role of gender in this relationship is neither static nor consistent over time. Examining how these works represent such things as gendered Latina\/o counter publics, how Central American-American communities are gendered in relation to other US Latina\/o communities, how and why gendered expressions of Latinidad are produced and marketed, and how print media provides an important space for dissemination of diverse ideas, \u003ci\u003ePublic Negotiations \u003c\/i\u003econsiders the way in which gender functions in terms of both the construction and reception of a Latina\/o public in a transnational space. Through thorough examination and with deep insight, Vigil shows how literature can invaluably reflect current and historical issues surrounding media and the public sphere and help us imagine new, hopefully better, possibilities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ariana E.
