Contemporary U.S. Latinx Literature in Spanish Straddling Identities

“The editors and authors of this volume succeed in mapping the contours of an evolving and increasingly variable field. … Overall, the volume clearly articulates the problems of English-only approaches to Latinx texts and clears space for future projects centred on the vital and strategic role of Spanish in Latinx literature.” (Marlene Hansen Esplin, Bulletin of Spanish Studies, Vol. 97 (3), 2020)
