In \u003ci\u003eThe Language of the In-Between\u003c\/i\u003e, Erika Almenara contends that literary production replicates this same process. Looking at marginalized communities in Chile and Peru, particularly writers who are \u003ci\u003etravesti\u003c\/i\u003e, trans, cuir\/queer, and Indigenous, the author shows how these writers stake a claim for the liminal space that is neither one thing nor the other. This allows a freedom to expose oppression and to critique a national identity based on erasure. By employing a language of nonnormative gender and sexuality to dispute the state projects of modernity and modernization, the voice of the poor and racialized \u003ci\u003etravesti\u003c\/i\u003e evolves from powerlessness to become an agent of social transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eErika Almenara \u003c\/b\u003eis assistant professor of Spanish in the Department of World Languages, Literatures, and Cultures at the University of Arkansas.
