Pleasantly surprised to see that Brazilian literature being so described in here! Gotta confess, I was fully prepared for this to be completely centered around the experiences of Hispanic America (well, tbh the experiences of US-based authors of Latino heritage at best talking about some Mexican authors) and that, like whenever we are described within the context of Latin America, Brazil would be a footnote without much consideration on the specifics of our country other than oh yeah they are not hispanic btw. But no! There seems to be a lot of consideration! A lot of thought to really make this great! Can't wait to see more of it!

LATINE MENTIONED WHOOO! I am neither Latin American or Hispanic, but I do listen to people, especially nonbinary people, who are these things, and I see Latine on the rise due to it fitting better linguistically within Spanish than Latinx does (I’m an amateur linguistics nerd so I love learning about this shit lol. I also unfortunately see a common misconception that Latinx came from white people when it was a Latino person who came up with it (I think Latino Latin American for sure tho, and I wish I could fight that better. I should really grab an article at some point to share whenever I encounter this misconception online. :V

I'm american with latino heritage and only grew up learning about american literature and I always wondered about what's the impactful literature in latino culture. Happy to see Crash Course give others a gateway into learning more about literature of that side of the world

Fantastic intro, looking forward to following this series. Im a Mexican mostly educated in the US and lived in several countries, and the questions about our identity at a national level very much resonated. Intrigued to learn more about how literature treats this topic.

Omg, finished Mexican Gothic just last week. Ever since then I was looking into this literature for more of it. And now there is a Crash Course. I'm so happy I could cry.

I wonder how long is it going to take for the US to finally accept that they're a hispanic country, second largest spanish speaker country only after Mexico

I'm so pumped! The syllabus sounds great, interesting, varied and I love Curly Velasquez already. I'm sure they'll make a great host.
