The volume offers an account of the genre, adopting a multidisciplinary perspective--spanning sociology, anthropology, literature, performance, film and art history--in documenting the histories and ongoing afterlives of a form that remains deeply embedded in Latin American and Latinx culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTelenovela: A Reader\u003c\/i\u003e brings together 13 essays by scholars from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, the United States and Venezuela, alongside illustrations of telenovela-inspired artworks.
