Called "ABCs" (American-Born Cubans) or "AmeriCubans," these writers experiment with different formal approaches and lace their work with Cuban Spanish to give voice to hybrid identities and cultural legacies within the contemporary multicultural US. An introduction by Iraida H. López identifies key tropes in their poetry, prose, and drama and provides an overview of Cuban-American literature since the 1960s. With both original and previously published pieces by award-winning authors--including President Obama's Second Inaugural Poet, Richard Blanco--the volume makes a welcome contribution to the fields of Latinx and American literature, as well as critical discussions across disciplines about the intersections of latinidad with race, class, gender, and sexuality."-- OP - 157 CN - PS508.C83 L48 2019eb SN - 9781438477107 SN - 1438477104 SN - 9781438477091 SN - 1438477090 SN - 9781438477084 SN - 1438477082 KW - American literature : Cuban American authors.
