Opis

This book explores the post-insular imprint in Puerto Rican letters through a sample of authors from the island and the diaspora.

Recenzje

"With thoughtful, nuanced, and fresh readings of texts by writers whose work and existential-literary cartographies defy confining articulations of Puerto Rican identity, Nancy I. Bird-Soto intervenes in fundamental critical conversations about migration and coloniality in Puerto Rican experience and identity debates, to build a strong case that the 'post-insular' has always constituted a defining characteristic of that experience." -Vicky Unruh, Professor Emerita, University of Kansas
