Professional Identification
|
|
Literary historian, Cultural critic specializing in 19th-20th century Latina/o, U.S. and Latin American literature, with subspecialization in Cuban diaspora, translation, feminist and decolonial theory
|
|
|
Description of Research and Scholarly or Creative Objectives
|
|
I am a literary historian, cultural critic and teacher specializing in 19th-20th century Latina/o, U.S., Latin American and Caribbean literatures. Through critical examination of archival material alongside canonical authors, my research has helped to define Latina/o literary history as distinct from U.S. Ethnic or Latin American area studies. I read comparatively among ethnonational social formations to discern a perspective between state, linguistic and cultural borders. My work maps alternatives to assimilation and to monolingualism. It highlights the contributions of Latina/o writers to modernist and multilingual American literature and to interdisciplinary, public-facing scholarship animating the humanities today. My research would undermine stereotypes of U.S.-born or migrant Latinas/os as foreigners and criminals by calling attention to the reactions of the dominated and to the benefits of transculturation. Reading for decolonial perspectives in poetry, prose, and performance, I elucidate how heterogeneous border-crossers represent themselves within New York City, the United States and the world.
