Troubling Nationhood in U.S. Latina Literature-Perpustakaan.org
By:Maya Socolovsky
Published on 2013-06-26 by Rutgers University Press
This book examines the ways in which recent U.S.
Latina literature challenges popular definitions of nationhood and national identity.
It explores a group of feminist texts that are representative of the U.S.
Latina literary boom of the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, when an emerging group of writers gained prominence in mainstream and academic circles.
Through close readings of select contemporary Mexican American, Puerto Rican, and Cuban American works, Maya Socolovsky argues that these narratives are “remapping” the United States so that it is fully integrated within a larger, hemispheric Americas.
Looking at such concerns as nation, place, trauma, and storytelling, writers Denise Chavez, Sandra Cisneros, Esmeralda Santiago, Ana Castillo, Himilce Novas, and Judith Ortiz Cofer challenge popular views of Latino cultural “unbelonging” and make strong cases for the legitimate presence of Latinas/os within the United States.
In this way, they also counter much of today’s anti-immigration rhetoric.
Imagining the U.S.
as part of a broader "Americas," these writings trouble imperialist notions of nationhood, in which political borders and a long history of intervention and colonization beyond those borders have come to shape and determine the dominant culture's writing and the defining of all Latinos as "other" to the nation.

Published by Published since 2017
Faith Newberry's dream job may be morphing into a nightmare.
Newly hired as the librarian at the upscale and pet-friendly Castleton Manor literary retreat, Faith sees her move from Boston to the quaint Cape Cod village of Lighthouse Bay, Massachusetts, as a boon.
But things turn ugly when she discovers that the first edition book by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle proudly displayed in the library is a counterfeit and not a very good one at that.
Who could have absconded with the real volume? Could it have been the former librarian when she mysteriously disappeared leaving only a cryptic note of resignation? Or has someone else duped the handome heir to the Castleton estate, Wolfe Jaxon? Whichever is the case, it soon becomes clear that someone will stop at nothing to keep her from learning the truth.
