It considers how different literary devices can participate in the decolonization of the flesh as it is obfuscated by mappings of the 'body' from the Enlightenment era and colonial endeavors. Drawing on studies of cognitive development and epigenetics to identify how sentient-flesh creates knowledge of power and navigates methods of subversion for social justice, this book grapples with the question of how Puerto Rican women, living in the nation of their colonizer, manifest an identity that exists beyond the scope of colonization. It makes the case for a change in perspective that illustrates the conceptual shift from survivors to thrivers to educators. To do so, it draws upon Cherríe Moraga and Gloria Anzaldúa's theory in the flesh; Iris Lopez's theories of trauma-knowledge; and María Lugones's concept of 'world travelers' to retain the corporeal flesh and physical location in Latinas' attempts to write subversion under U.S. colonization across racial, cultural, and ethnic boundaries, as well as the gendered-sexuality barriers identified by Emma Pérez. This project builds on their work to frame Latina literature within a new discussion of how corporeal, memory, and sentient experiences of identity must center sentient-flesh as the source of decolonial consciousness rather than relapsing into discourses of the 'body'. 410 0$aLiteratures of the Americas,$x2634-6028 606 $aLatin American literature 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y21st century 606 $aSex 606 $aLatin American/Caribbean Literature 606 $aContemporary Literature 606 $aGender Studies 615 0$aLatin American literature. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aSex. 615 14$aLatin American/Caribbean Literature. 615 24$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aGender Studies. 676 $a809.8928709729 676 $a809.89287097295 700 $aHurtado$b Roberta$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01370297 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910733721103321 996 $aDecolonial Puerto Rican Women's Writings$93398453 997 $aUNINA
