E-Book Overview
With its focus on Latino and Latina communities in the United States, this book investigates narrative and aesthetic strategies that are employed to represent transnational experiences in literary and cultural texts. Specifically concerned with how real and imagined movements between Latin American countries and the U.S. generate diverse conceptualizations of nationalism and transnationalism, this collection explores notions of identity, citizenship, and belonging in the past, present, and future.
