Product Description
The result of a decade of research in archives and special collections in the Caribbean and in the US, Lisa Sanchez Gonzalez argues that the writing of the Puerto Rican diaspora should be considered an integral field of study. Covering 100 years of Boricua literary history, each chapter looks at the single writer or group of writers who are most emblematic of their respective generation, from William Carlos Williams and Arturo Schomburg, to latina feminism and salsa music. The story of an American community of colour, "Boricua Literature" is also about contemporary critical race and gender studies.
