A MERICAS

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 United States. 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 scholarship using theories from postcolonial, critical race, and ecofeminist approaches. Series Editor Norma E. Cantú is professor of English and US Latino Studies at the University of Missouri, Kansas City and professor emerita from the University of Texas at San Antonio. Her edited and coedited works include Inside the Latin@ Experience (2010, Palgrave Macmillan), Telling to Live: Latina Feminist Testimonios (2001, Duke University Press), Chicana Traditions: Continuity and Change (2000, The University of Illinois Press), and Dancing across Borders: Danzas y Bailes Mexicanos (2003, The University of Illinois Press).
