The Latino Reader is the first anthology to present the full history of this important American literary tradition, from the mid-sixteenth century to the present day. Selections include works of history, memoirs, letters, and essays, as well as fiction, poetry, and drama.

Six Women's Slave Narratives contains stories that embody most of the themes and narratives found in African-American women's autobiographies from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Beginning with the first female slave narrative from the Americas, The History of Mary Prince, a West Indian Slave (1831), the collection includes writings by "Old Elizabeth", Mattie J. Jackson, Lucy A. Delaney, Kate Drumgoold, and Annie L. Burton.
