Telling stories of Black Latinidades, this anthology centers the multifaceted realities of the LGBTQ community.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy exploring themes of memory, care, and futurity, these contributions expand understandings of Blackness in Latin America, the Caribbean, and their U.S.-based diasporas. The volume offers up three central questions: How do queer and\/or trans Black writers of Latin American descent address memory? What are the textures of caring, being cared for, and accepting care as Black queer and\/or trans people of Latin American descent? And how do queer and trans embodiments help us understand and\/or question the past and the present, and construct a Black, queer, and trans future?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe works collected in this anthology encompass a multitude of genres--including poetry, autobiography, short stories, diaries, visual art, and a graphic memoir--and feature the voices of established writers alongside emerging voices. Together, the contributors challenge everything we think we know about gender, sexuality, race, and what it means to experience a livable life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlan Pelaez Lopez\u003c\/strong\u003e is an Afro-Indigenous poet and installation and adornment artist from Oaxaca, Mexico, and an assistant professor at the University of California, Davis.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: University of Arizona Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublish Date: December 12, 2023\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePages: 320\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEAN\/UPC: 9780816549962\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 9.2 X 6.2 X 0.6 inches | 1.4 pounds\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBISAC: Literary Collections \/ LGBTQ+\u003cbr\u003eSocial Science \/ Cultural \u0026amp; Ethnic Studies \/ American Studies \/ Hispanic \u0026amp; Latino Studies\u003cbr\u003eLiterary Collections \/ Essays\u003cbr\u003eLiterary Collections \/ American \/ African American \u0026amp; Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Alan Pelaez Lopez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":68332770132203,"sku":"9780816549962","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0253\/4014\/9820\/files\/9780816549962.jpg?v=1793568361","url":"https:\/\/rep.club\/products\/when-language-broke-open","provider":"Reparations Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
