Translocalities /Translocalidades
Book (italiano):
<DIV><I>Translocalities/Translocalidades</I> is a path breaking collection of essays on Latin American, Caribbean, and U.S.-based Latina feminisms and their multiple translations and cross-pollinations. The contributors come from countries throughout the Americas and are based in diverse disciplines, including media studies, literature, Chicana/o studies, and political science. Together, they advocate a hemispheric politics based on the knowledge that today, many Latin/o-americanidades—Afro, queer, indigenous, feminist—are constructed through processes of translocation. <I>Latinidad</I> in the South, North and Caribbean "middle" of the Américas, is constituted out of the intersections of the intensified cross-border, transcultural, and translocal flows that characterize contemporary transmigration throughout the hemisphere, from La Paz to Buenos Aires to Chicago and back again. Rather than immigrating and assimilating, many people in the Latin/a Américas increasingly move back and forth between localities, between historically situated and culturally specific, though increasingly porous, places, across multiple borders, and not just between nations. The contributors deem these multidirectional crossings and movements, and the positionalities engendered, "translocalities/translocalidades."<BR><I><BR>Contributors</I>. Sonia E.
