Conclusion: Continuing the Dialogue

This critical volume on Latinx literature written in Spanish builds upon the success of earlier scholars to open and deepen the dialogue about inclusivity with the goal that readers will come to understand the wider implications of accepting Latinxs (and Spanish) as part of the fabric of the United States. No history is clear and demarcated, and no walls will define the borders of a nation. Our intent is to help find this literature its rightful place and even educate those willing to listen that the Spanish language is not just a colonial vestige. Spanish language literature and its production in the United States of America is a contemporary reality and the sooner we accept it, the richer our lives and curriculum will be.
