Welcome
Mester is the journal of the graduate students of the University of California Los Angeles, www.spanport.ucla.edu. We are dedicated to publishing work that reflects the highest level of scholarship while pushing the limits of accepted views and convenient categories. Since 1970 we have built a reputation as one of the best student-run journals in North America, publishing articles by established scholars alongside the best work of graduate students.
Mester publish critical articles, interviews and book reviews in the fields of Spanish, Portuguese, Spanish American, Brazilian and Latino/a literature and linguistics. We also welcome articles in Comparative Literature, Critical Theory and Cultural Studies. Submissions may be written in Spanish, Portuguese or English. Our next issue will be entitled “Voices in the US: Spanish and Portuguese”. Please, consult our CFPs 2011 section.
Mester is published annually, and it is indexed in the MLA International Bibliography of Books and Articles on The Modern Languages and Literatures. Electronic, full-text access for the majority of previously published titles is available courtesy of The Internet Archive
Mester has recently joined the eScholarship Repository where we accept ongoing submissions
