Students and scholars of literature, cultural studies, or studies of the Latino experience will want to check out the Latino Book Review, an annual digital and print magazine featuring book reviews, literary news, essays, interviews, and research databases. Founded in 2016 by Gerald Aguilar Padilla, the mission of the Latino Book Review is to "create quality content and make the work of Latinx writers visible." The digital magazine can be navigated using header buttons for "Reviews," "Interviews," "Essays," and other sections on the main page. The "Research" section includes useful resources like themed literature collections (e.g., the conquest of Mexico) and a database of minority-owned bookstores. The magazine also creates a podcast, currently in its second season, featuring interviews with prominent Latinx writers such as author Isabel Allende and journalist Maria Hinojosa. Readers interested in supporting the magazine's mission can also purchase a print or PDF copy.
