Abstract
This article examines the first two seasons of the US television program Ugly Betty through a critical analysis of the show's text to see where and how the program reifies, subverts, complicates or destabilizes stereotypes of Latino/as. It specifically examines the Latina and the Latino body in terms of gender and sexuality, and also analyzes the choice of Mexican bodies. This article analyzes this program with an eye toward its potential educational impact, focusing on how media (as one of many educational agents) can reinforce – or counter – stereotypes, and contribute to individuals building images of others and of their own identity.
