Diverse in ethnic and national origin backgrounds, Americans with Latine heritage contribute to every corner of literature and performance styles. The audiobooks here are intended to pique your listening interest in all those kinds of variety. You might start with OUR MIGRANT SOULS, written by journalist and academic Héctor Tobar, who plumbs the corners of Latine identity in today’s United States, and read by André Santana, whose voice work reflects the author’s thesis of Latine identity’s youth.
