Abstract
Crowdsourcing of analysis in courses on Latino literature encourages and brings to light some of this plurality. By developing digital enhancements for printed literary texts, this participatory mode of Latino literary study highlights new elements of texts to pay attention. Contemporary United States Latino writers would most likely need royalties from any enhanced e-book editions of their work. By collaborating on enhanced versions of Latino literary texts together, scholars and students will then be even more successful in democratically extending their research, expertise, and educational privilege to a wider public. With the proliferation of portable electronic devices such as the iPad, the Kindle Fire, and smartphones since 2010, 2 the enhanced e-book has blossomed as a new genre. Portability, accessibility in multiple locales, and quick downloading of books have attracted wider audiences to literary texts, and the new digital capabilities of these devices have spurred content creators and publishers to develop textual enhancements to attract audiences and increase sales.
