Crossing Waters: Undocumented Migration in Hispanophone Caribbean and Latinx Literature and Art, by Marisel C. Moreno
Preserving our commitment to activism, agency, and community
Documenting the Undocumented: Latino/a Narratives and Social Justice in the Era of Operation Gatekeeper
Looking at fiction and nonfiction by citizen journalists and undocumented writers, Caminero-Santangelo finds that latino/a writers increasingly express a sense of solidarity with undocumented immigrants. She also notes, however, that the literary and narrative response is far from heterogeneous
The Cambridge Companion to Latina/o American Literature
The Cambridge Companion to Latina/o American Literature provides a thorough yet accessible overview of a literary phenomenon that has been rapidly globalizing over the past two decades. It takes an innovative approach that underscores the importance of understanding Latina/o literature not merely as an ethnic phenomenon in the United States, but more broadly as a crucial element of a trans-American literary imagination. Leading scholars in the fi…
Narrating the Non-Nation: Literary Journalism and "Illegal" Border Crossings
T he twenty-first century has been hailed as ushering in a new era of globalization and "post-nationalism," in which the nation-state is becoming an increasingly "obsolete" category (Appadurai 169). Such grand claims are belied, however, by the strong wave of resurgent nativism in the U.S. that has accompanied immigration reform debates of the last decade-most recently manifested in Arizona's notorious SB 1070 and similar legislative efforts in o…
Documenting the Undocumented: Life Narratives of Unauthorized Immigrants

The lost ones: Post-gatekeeper border fictions and the construction of cultural trauma
Central Americans in the City: Goldman, Tobar, and the Question of Panethnicity
This investigation was supported by the University of Kansas General Research Fund allocation #2301127-003. Revisions were supported in part by a Fellowship from the University of Kansas Hall Center for the Humanities. Notes Very recent U.S. Latina/o novels, such as those by Cristina García and Junot Díaz, move increasingly away from this paradigm. For an extended discussion of how U.S. Latino/a writers have (or more often, have not) dealt with t…
Responding to the Human Costs of US Immigration Policy: No More Deaths and the New Sanctuary Movement
On Latinidad: U.S. Latino Literature and the Construction of Ethnicity
This book addresses the question of how Latino/Latina literature wrestles with the panethnic and trans-racial implications of the “Latino” label. Refusing to take latinidad (Latino-ness) for granted, the book lays the groundwork for a sophisticated understanding of the various manifestations of Latino identity. It examines texts by prominent Chicano/Chicana, Dominican American, Puerto Rican, and Cuban American writers—including Julia Alvarez, Cri…
