Yolanda Padilla publishes “Approaches to Teaching Early Twentieth-Century Mexican American Literature in Undergraduate Classrooms”

IAS faculty member Yolanda Padilla published "Approaches to Teaching Early Twentieth-Century Mexican American Literature in Undergraduate Classrooms" in Writing / Righting History: Twenty-Five Years of Recovering the U.S. Hispanic Literary Heritage. In her chapter, Padilla reflects on how U.S. literary studies' neglect of recovered Latinx texts results in a lost opportunity for important field transformation. She then provides examples of how she uses recovered texts in her undergraduate classes, discussing her learning objectives and how those texts spark a rethinking of U.S. literary and cultural history.
