Anthologies are fundamental in the formation of literary canons. In order to explore the process of Latino literary canon formation, first, I analyze the nature of anthologies and their role as discourses that contribute to the construction of latinidad. I then present a brief overview of the historical, academic and publishing context that enabled the publication of the anthologies surveyed. A comparative study of six Latino literature anthologies, published between 1997 and 2010, focusing on an analysis of the authors included in these collections, allows us to scrutinize who, according to the editors, the core writers of the Latino literary canon are. The few coincidences among them seem to indicate that there is still no strong consensus about which authors and texts are part of the Latino literary canon.

选集是文学典范形成的基础。为了探讨拉丁文文学经典的形成过程，首先，我分析了选集的性质及其作为有助于建构拉丁语的话语的作用。然后，我简要概述了历史，学术和出版背景，从而使所调查的选集得以出版。对1997年至2010年发表的六种拉丁裔文学选集的比较研究，着重于对这些藏品中的作者的分析，使我们能够仔细研究谁是拉丁裔文学经典的核心作者。它们之间的一些巧合似乎表明，关于哪些作者和文本是拉丁裔文学经典的一部分，仍未达成共识。
