Summary:	"This co-edited volume is the first book to incorporate a transdisciplinary approach that examines transnational Mexican cultural productions through a variety of analytical perspectives. The authors propose a multilayered reading of contemporary transnational cultural manifestations in which it is possible to recognize challenges and cultural strategies that transnational Mexican communities conceive in order to claim cultural, political and social agency. The essays, interviews, and poetry included in this volume elaborate on the creation of new forms of citizenship that reshape the long history of exclusion that has marked the experience of these particular groups not only in the United States but also in what is geo-politically defined as Mexico"--Provided by publisher. "This collection of essays expands the discussion on global Mexican cultural productions by incorporating a multidisciplinary approach that includes a variety of analytical perspectives. The authors recognize challenges and cultural strategies that transnational Mexican communities conceive in order to claim cultural, political and social agency. In this respect, the essays elaborate on the creation of new forms of citizenship that reshape the history of exclusion of global Mexican cultural productions both in the United States and in what is geo-politically defined as Mexico. This book aims towards students, scholars and general audiences interested in this cultural phenomenon"--Provided by publisher.
