Literatures of the Americas Series Editor Norma E. Cantú Kansas City, Missouri, USA
This series seeks to bring forth contemporary critical interventions within a hemispheric perspective, with an emphasis on perspectives from Latin America. Books in the series will highlight work that explores concerns in literature in different cultural contexts across historical and geographical boundaries and will also include work on the specific Latina/o realities in the US. Designed to explore key questions confronting contemporary issues of literary and cultural import, Literatures of the Americas will be rooted in traditional approaches to literary criticism but will seek to include cutting edge theoretical interventions such as postcolonial and feminist critical approaches.
