Latinidad
''Latinidad'' is a Spanish language term that is used to reference the various attributes that are shared by Latin American people and their descendants without reducing those similarities to any single essential trait. It was first taken up within US Latino studies by the sociologist Felix Padilla in his 1985 study of Mexicans and Puerto Ricans in Chicago,〔Padilla, Felix M. Latino Ethnic Consciousness: The Case of Mexican Americans and Puerto Ricans in Chicago. 1st Edition. Notre Dame, Ind: University of Notre Dame Press, 1985.
〕 and has since been used up by a wide range of scholars as a way to speak of Latinos/as communities and cultural practices outside of a strictly Latin American context. As a social construct, ''latinidad'' references "a particular geopolitical experience but it also contains within it the complexities and contradictions of immigration, (post)(neo)colonialism, race, color, legal status class, nation, language and the politics of location.〔Rodríguez, Juana María. Queer Latinidad: Identity Practices, Discursive Spaces. New York: NYU Press, 2003.
〕" As a theoretical concept ''latinidad'' is a useful way to discuss amalgamations of Latin American cultures and communities outside of any singular national frame.〔Miguel, Guadalupe San. "Embracing Latinidad: Beyond Nationalism in the History of Education." Journal of Latinos & Education 10.1 (2011): 3-22.〕 ''Latinidad'' also names the result of forging a shared cultural identity out of disparate elements in order to wield political and social power through pan-Latino/a solidarity. Rather than be defined as any singular phenomenon, understandings of ''Latinidad'' are contingent on place-specific social relations.〔Price, Patricia L. "Cohering Culture on Calle Ocho: The Pause and Flow of Latinidad." Globalizations 4.1 (2007): 81-99.〕
== ''Latinidad'' and culture ==
''Latinidad'' invokes pan-Latino/a solidarity among Latinos/as in ways that illuminate an understanding of identity, place, and belonging. 'We're all one heart here. There are no distinctions of race, of country, or culture'.〔Price, Patricia L. "Cohering Culture on Calle Ocho: The Pause and Flow of Latinidad." Globalizations 4.1 (2007): 81–99.〕 This so-called Latinization of the U.S. has the potential to profoundly reshape the parameters of democracy, citizenship, and national identity. Culture involves a dynamic interplay between flow and pause. In this sense, flows and pauses, and the dynamic tension between these two polarities, can be seen to be at the heart of ''latinidad'' as a form of cultural coherence. Manifestations of ''latinidad'' are evidenced at numerous scales, from the very local scale of the individual and his or her immediate zone of inhabitance—a block, a neighborhood, a street—to nations and world regions that are hemispheric in scale.〔Price, Patricia L. "Cohering Culture on Calle Ocho: The Pause and Flow of Latinidad." Globalizations 4.1 (2007): 81–99.〕 It is place specific; both shaped, and is shaped by, the context in which it emerges. ''Latinidad'' has important ramifications for national, transnational, hemispheric, and even global, modalities of belonging. According to Price (2007) this flexible coalescence of identity around a variously imagined Latinidad provides fertile conceptual and empirical terrain for understanding how culture coalesces at the scale of quotidian human encounters.
