Denise Dresser—Why She's Laughing at Mexico

Humorist Denise Dresser is one of Mexico's best-known political minds and the go-to source when the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and major English-language broadcasters need an explanation of the dizzying turns of her country's politics. Dresser has been busier than ever since the disputed results of last month's presidential balloting have sent more than a million angry Mexicans into the streets, demanding that their votes be properly counted and reviving old doubts about democracy.

Who's Who in Spanish-language Publishing: The Faces Behind the Books
U.S. Spanish-language publishers and editors have been around since long before the Latin crossover boom began. But over the last several years, a new dynamic has emerged, forged by imprints such as Rayo and Vintage Español and the sophisticated distribution of Spanish houses such as Planeta and Santillana in Miami. The rise of Spanish-language programs cropping up all over from domestic houses means that editors must work even harder to find that next best seller and vie for competitive and limited shelving space in the marketplace. Houses are now allowing Spanish-language editors opportunities to take risks to try and reach the sometimes ambiguous Hispanic reader, nearly impossible a decade ago.
