Gary Totten’s (English) edited book "A Companion to the Multiethnic Literature of the United States," has been published by Wiley-Blackwell. Totten edited the book and wrote the introduction and a chapter on travel, mobility and multiethnic US literature. Other UNLV faculty also contributed to the book, with Jessica E. Teague (English) and former English instructor and graduate student Arianna Razo writing a chapter on multiethnic US theatre, and Vincent Pérez (English) writing a chapter on hemispheric, transnational, and comparative approaches to multiethnic US literature.

The book provides the most comprehensive collection of scholarship on the multiethnic literature of the United States. It is the first in-depth reference work dedicated to the histories, genres, themes, cultural contexts, and new directions of American literature by authors of varied ethnic backgrounds. Engaging multiethnic literature as a distinct field of study, this volume brings together a wide range of critical and theoretical approaches to offer analyses of African American, Latinx, Native American, Asian American, Jewish American, and Arab American literatures, among others.
