Project Narrative congratulates Core Faculty member Frederick Luis Aldama on winning a 2020 International Latino Book Award for his book Reel Latinx: Representation in U.S. Film and TV. Co-written with Christopher Gonzalez, Reel Latinx explores the legacies of Latinx representation in film and television, probing into how such representation has influenced public perception of Latinx identity and how alternative representational strategies and narratives can counter stereotypes and cultural ignorance.

Project Narrative is immensely proud of Professor Aldama’s achievement and his ongoing commitment to broadening the narrative horizons of readers across the globe.
