In conversation with twelve significant authors of South American descent in the United States, Juanita Heredia reveals that, through their transnational experiences, they have developed multicultural identities throughout different regions and cities across the country. However, these authors' works also exemplify a return to their heritage in South America through memory and travel, often showing that they maintain strong cultural and literary ties across national borders. As such, they have created a new chapter in trans-American history by finding new ways of imagining South America from their formation and influences in the U.S. 410 0$aLiteratures of the Americas. 606 $aHispanic Americans in literature 606 $aHispanic American authors 606 $aAuthors, American 606 $aAuthorship 615 0$aHispanic Americans in literature. 615 0$aHispanic American authors. 615 0$aAuthors, American. 615 0$aAuthorship. 676 $a810.9868 700 $aHeredia$b Juanita$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01370246 702 $aHeredia$b Juanita$f1966- 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910733711803321 996 $aMapping South American Latina$93397890 997 $aUNINA
