Throughout history, people from, or with heritage of, Latinx America have been called or identified by different terms, including Hispanic, Latino\/a, Latin@, Latin\u00e9, and Latinx. These neologisms demonstrate the versatility of the Spanish language, its evolution over time, and the inherent challenge of labeling a large, diverse group of people from one region of the world into a few characters. After all, Latinidad manifests itself in a myriad of ways, including language, cultures, nationalities, gender, and religion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This digital project adopts the use of \u2018Latinx\u2019 to refer to people from, or with heritage of, Latin America. This term is prevalent in U.S. academic circles and being rapidly adopted by the younger Latinx population. As young adults conduct research at Davidson in the future, the term Latinx will be legible to new generations of Latinx students who will contribute to this digital repository. Moreover, as a project committed to the inclusion of diverse Latinx voices, this term allows the project to be more inclusive of all Latinx individuals, including gender non-confirming Latinx individuals. In the future, as language continues to evolve, we will continue to adopt terminology conducive to greater inclusivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lo largo de la historia, personas originarias o de herencia latinoamericana han sido llamadas o se han identificado con diferentes t\u00e9rminos, incluyendo Latino\/a, Hispano\/as, Latin@, Latin\u00e9, y Latinx. Estos neologismos muestran la versatilidad del lenguaje espa\u00f1ol, su evoluci\u00f3n en el tiempo y el mayor desaf\u00edo de querer usar un s\u00f3lo t\u00e9rmino para abarcar a una multitud de personas de una sola regi\u00f3n del mundo. Despu\u00e9s de todo, la Latinidad se manifiesta en una mir\u00edada de formas, incluyendo lengua, culturas, nacionalidades, g\u00e9nero, religiones, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Este proyecto adopta el uso del t\u00e9rmino \u2018Latinx\u2019 para referirse a personas de herencia latinoamericana. Este t\u00e9rmino es prevalente en c\u00edrculos acad\u00e9micos estadunidenses y ha sido r\u00e1pidamente adoptado por los j\u00f3venes Latinx. A medida que m\u00e1s estudiantes j\u00f3venes llevaran a cabo investigaciones acad\u00e9micas en Davidson en el futuro, el t\u00e9rmino \u2018Latinx\u2019 tendr\u00e1 sentido para las nuevas generaciones de estudiantes que contribuyan a este portal digital. Adem\u00e1s, siendo un proyecto dedicado a la inclusi\u00f3n de diversas voces Latinx, este t\u00e9rmino permite que el proyecto sea m\u00e1s inclusivo de todas las personas Latinx, incluyendo a individuos de g\u00e9nero flu\u00eddo o no conformativo. En el futuro, mientras la lengua siga evolucionando seguiremos adoptando lengua que sea m\u00e1s incluyente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
