The next issue of Diálogo takes us into the world of Latinx detective fiction, a popular genre in which writers are often able to provide sharp critiques of the corruption of law enforcement and the ways in which the justice system itself can sometimes reproduce systemic injustice and oppression. Michael Cucher (Univ of Puerto Rico) and William Arce (Cal State Fresno), two of the special guest editors for the issue, sat down to explain why Latinx detective fiction has become such a relevant and dynamic art form for contemporary Latinx writers.
