B. V. Olguín is the Robert and Liisa Erickson Presidential Chair in English, and Director of the Global Latinidades Project, at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He received his Ph.D. from Stanford University, and is a Ford Postdoctoral Fellow, and National Endowment for the Humanities Faculty Research Fellow. He previously served on English Department faculties at Cornell University and the University of Texas at San Antonio, with visiting appointments in the Center for Mexican American Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. Olguín is the author of La Pinta: Chicana/o History, Culture, and Politics (University of Texas Press, 2010).

Critics of U.S. Latinidades have sustained an overt or covert ethnonationalist perspective that Olguín exposes by undertaking a violentological archival, interpretive, political, and theoretical project that sustains an anti-imperialist and anti-settler colonialist critique. He reads against the grain of a patriarchal teleological ideology, following the lead of groundbreaking Chicana and Latina feminists, and thus further breaks down the logic of violentology. Olguín's critique of the field is a magnificent tour de force, and he challenges all of us to undertake a paradigm shift. After reading his arguments throughout texts I strongly agree with him.
