Spanish-language newspapers offered theater listings, coverage of favorite performers, cultural criticism, and serialized novels that thematized entertainment culture. Gabriel Navarro was a key figure in this milieu. \u003ci\u003e\"There Are No Hispanic Stars!\"\u003c\/i\u003e assembles the novellas and articles that represent his extensive body of film and cultural criticism. Covering a range of topics from the lives of Hollywood's well-known Mexican actors to the plight of Mexican extras and the formation of amateur film clubs, Navarro allowed his readers to participate in the construction of a Latina\/o Hollywood. At the same time, he urged Hollywood not to overlook its Latina\/o audiences. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTogether, these writings present a lively look at the film culture that emerged in the Southwest's Mexican immigrant community.
