<i>[US Latinx studies is] not as a discipline but as a field of study and intellectual community that, inspired by the political and social mobilizations from the 1960s and 70s, produces decolonial and alternative knowledges that aim to relocate the lives and

With Frances Aparicio’s anti-disciplinary identification of US Latinx studies in mind, this volume seeks to map the origins and directions of US Latino/a/x DH, centering the field’s resistant digital decolonialism. US Latinx studies represent a coming together
of numerous fields, communities, and peoples. Like Cherríe Moraga and Gloria Anzaldúa, we simultaneously move forward while examining and embracing our past. Likewise, US Latinx digital humanities builds and reinforces connections between our art, politics,
and scholarship–current, past, and future.</div>

The directions of US Latinx DH are diverse, multilingual, inter and anti-disciplinary, intergenerational, and transnational; they are frequently resistant to traditional academic spaces such as universities, libraries, and museums in the United States. In this
sense, US Latinx DH constantly intervenes in and opposes nationalism and colonialism. Latinx digital humanities projects often begin by deconstructing technology’s languages and practices. These projects are frequently shaped by ethnic studies, critical race
theory, and US Latinx epistemological praxis. In defining and “doing” or making US Latinx DH, we recognize that, historically educational, and cultural institutions (universities, galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (UGLAMs) do not always welcome US
Latinx peoples, even in cases where our people and cultures are the subjects and objects of study. US Latinx DH reverses these practices, in part, by working closely with non-institutional archives, communities, and their institutions as partners, rather than
treating them and their data as resources to be mined. Individuals and systems are met where they are, projects are shaped by unique needs and practices, rather than having to conform to the structures of traditional scholarship. Resources are brought
<i>to</i> and preserved <i>in</i> rather than <i>taken</i> from communities. In its structure, implementation, and access, US Latinx DH seeks to heal harms done to our communities by fields such as anthropology, history, and literary, and library studies through
institutional archives and museums.</div>

best practices) with critical analyses or reflections (1500-2500 words including citations) that help readers from other fields grasp the arguments embedded within those documents. The book will be published in English; however, if work is submitted in another
language, the original language version will be published online as part of the collection.</div>
