The essays in this collection do not simply seek inclusion for the texts they critically discuss, but suggest that we more thoughtfully consider the utility of mapping, whether we are mapping land, borders, time, migration, or connections and disconnections across time and space. Using new and rigorous methodological approaches to reading Latina/o literature, contributors reveal a varied and textured landscape, challenging us to reconsider the process and influence of literary production across borders.Literatures of the Americas,2634-601XEthnology—Latin AmericaLiterature   Literature, Modern—20th centuryLiterature, Modern—21st centuryLatino Culturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411090Postcolonial/World Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/838000Twentieth-Century Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/822000Contemporary Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/815000Ethnology—Latin America.Literature   .Literature, Modern—20th century.Literature, Modern—21st century.Latino Culture.Postcolonial/World Literature.Twentieth-Century Literature.Contemporary Literature.863.009Herrera Cristina1978-edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMercado-López Larissa Medthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910733718703321Re)mapping the Latina3398435UNINA
