Remember Speedy Gonzalez? Mexican Spitfire Lupe Velez? The Frito Bandito? In "Text Mex: Seductive Hallucinations of the Mexican in America," author William Anthony Nericcio deconstructs Tex[t]-Mexicans in films, television, advertising, comic books, toys, literature, and even critical theory. Everyone and everything including Rita Hayworth, Frida Kahlo, Orson Welles' film "Touch of Evil" and the comic books of the Hernandez brothers receive a close reading from Nericcio.
