While Chicago has been long described as a city of Latinidad, there has been very limited academic attention paid to the lives of second-generation Intralatino/as-MexiRicans, MexiGuatemalans, DominiRicans among other rich combinations-who embody Latinidad in their multiple nationalities and ethnicities.
