Transnational Identities and the Politics of Dislocation

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Central Americans are the third largest and fastest growing Latino population in the United States. Constituting Central American-Americans is an exploration of the historical and disciplinary conditions that have structured US Central American identity and of the ways in which this identity challenges how we frame current discussions of Latina/o, American ethnic, and diasporic identities.
