“…Roughly 5% of those petitions are approved (Martín, 2020). Of the approximately 6 million migrants in Spain, about half a million are undocumented, with 77% of them being Latin American: Colombians (93,304), Hondurans (71,064), Venezuelans (50,449), and Peruvians (30,119) (Sánchez, 2023; Pérez-Nievas et al, 2021: 1137).…”

“…Social scientists Santiago Pérez-Nievas, Guillermo Cordero, and Marie L. Mallet-García submit that “Spain might represent a more favorable environment for the integration of minorities of Latin American origin. The common language, greater cultural proximity, and postcolonial bonds between Spain and Latin American countries […] might represent advantageous conditions that create a more favorable context of reception” (2021: 1139). These LatinX “advantages” warrant scrutiny.…”

More than a special issue, this endeavor serves as a sourcebook and provocation amplifying embryonic but interlinked sites of inquiry: LatinXness in Spain and its vital conversation with US LatinX studies as well as Iberian studies. LatinXs share historical and cultural connections to the Spanish and American empires. The contemporary period marks a significant moment on both sides of the Atlantic, as Spain now houses Europe’s largest LatinX population and the shifting ground of LatinXness exceeds the United States as well as a North-South axis of analysis. With an eye toward being wide-ranging, bringing forward fresh insights, and offering a crucial reference for an expanding area of interest—transatlantic LatinX studies—this undertaking provides historical contexts, defining moments, conceptual parameters, and critical approaches that appraise how Spain’s sociocultural and intellectual climate has fully entered a LatinX epoch. The exploration faces a cluster of questions: What do current characterizations of Spanishness invigorate when it admits a long ignored—and inseparable—LatinX foundation? What constitutes Spanish national currency when animated by LatinX bodies and imaginations? What is Spain—and what is Europe—to LatinXness and the Global South? What kind of new Spain—and new Europe—emerge from LatinXness and Global Southness? Collected here are original arguments and contributions—academic articles, think pieces, critical conversations, poetry, and creative nonfiction—orienting us on central thematic concerns that include: new directions and perspectives in transatlantic LatinX studies; the idea of Europe and Europeanness from Spain’s southernmost archipelago, the Canary Islands; LatinX nonhuman origins at the Royal Botanical Garden in the Spanish capital; the history, uses, and dissemination of the Panchito/Panchita racial slur; Madrid’s twenty-first century LatinX Spanish language, migration, and culture; present-day brown drag performance and practices; Afro-Spanish-Colombian poetry and politics; rurality, depopulation, and LatinX repopulation in Aguaviva, Spain; diasporic bodies and expressions of identity through movement; and movement in translation, X equivalencies across bodies, geographies, and languages. The volume, as a whole, is an entry point into LatinX studies and Iberian studies marshaling ideas and thinking tools that may be veering toward a new field of study.

“…However, the term Latino population has been used more in its connotative level of meaning in the United States, where it is used primarily to refer to individuals that have migrated themselves, or their families of origin, from Spanishspeaking countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, 1 with Mexico being the most abundantly represented country. 2 The term Hispanic has also been frequently used to describe this segment of the population. However, it is interesting to note that, in spite of the various groups that make up this conglomerate, there are differences among the many subgroups that are encompassed in it.…”

Introduction: Latinos constitute the largest minority in the United States. While the term could refer to all individuals born or whose families come from countries in which languages derived from Latin are predominant, the term has come to primarily refer to those who were born or come from families born in countries in the Western Hemisphere where Spanish is the predominant language. Latinos face discrimination in the health-care system of the United States, even if born in this country, is negatively affecting the mental health of both adults and children. Issues and concerns: There is an ever-increasing influx of families and children in the United States coming from countries in Latin America where they have experienced various forms of violence as well as violations of human rights and have arrived an undocumented status. As a result, many Latino families fear the potential detainment and deportation of family members, including the parents of children born in the United States, creating a source of anxiety and stress for the children. In addition to this, the process of forcibly having to abandon their country of origin within the context of what has been referred to as force migration is, in and of itself, a potentially traumatic event. Conclusion and recommendations: Providers of psychotherapy for Latino children need to become more aware of these circumstances and take them into account during the treatment of these children in order to be more effective in their interventions.
