The resplendent visual-verbal storyworlds of these artists reach into and radically transform so many visual and storytelling genres. \u003ci\u003eTales from la Vida\u003c\/i\u003e celebrates this space by bringing together more than eighty contributions by extraordinary Latinx creators. Their short visual-verbal narratives spring from autobiographical experience as situated within the language, culture, and history that inform Latinx identity and life. \u003ci\u003eTales from la Vida\u003c\/i\u003e showcases the huge variety of styles and worldviews of today's Latinx comic book and visual creators. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether it's detailing the complexities of growing up--mono- or multilingual, bicultural, straight, queer, or feminist Latinx--or focusing on aspects of pop culture, these graphic vignettes demonstrate the expansive complexity of Latinx identities. Taken individually and together, these creators--including such legendary artists as Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez, Roberta Gregory, and Kat Fajardo, to name a few--and their works show the world that when it comes to Latinx comics, there are no limits to matters of content and form. As we travel from one story to the next and experience the unique ways that each creator chooses to craft his or her story, our hearts and minds wake to the complex ways that Latinxs live within and actively transform the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frederick Luis Aldama\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814254934\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814254936\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mad Creek Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 7.00w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/30\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2018 pg. 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/14\/2018","brand":"Frederick Luis Aldama","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049415962879,"sku":"9780814254936","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a47e59dd-c6d8-4eda-b2bf-1c28a54e6fce.jpg?v=1685001453","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tales-from-la-vida-frederick-luis-aldama-9780814254936","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
