Book Reviews of Heroes, Lovers, and Others: The Story of Latinos in Hollywood
Book Review: A fascinating history
Summary: 5 Stars
Clara Rodriguez has written a fascinating history of Latino/a actors in an impressively engaging style. I approached this from a film history perspective, but it would be valuable for Latino cultural history as well since Rodriguez doesn't try to seperate the business from the culture. Highly recommended!
