This is the first-ever comprehensive literary survey of the Central American diaspora by a US publisher--perfect for high school, college, or university courses in US literature, Latinx literature, multicultural studies, and migration studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA multi-genre collection featuring poems, short stories, essays, memoir or novel excerpts, and creative nonfiction, the anthology showcases writers who render a multiplicity of experiences: of refugees from the wars of the 1980s, of those who barely remember the homeland, and of those who were born in \u003ci\u003eel norte\u003c\/i\u003e. There are writers from both coasts and from the middle. Their aesthetics range from hip-hop inflected to high literary to acrobatics in Spanglish. It is a community that shares not only a history of violence--both here and back home--but the hope and healing that ensures its survival. The writers include migrants or children of migrants from countries in the so-called Northern Triangle--El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras--considered one of the most violent places on earth, as well as from Belize, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Panamá.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLETICIA HERNÁNDEZ LINARES\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eMucha Muchacha, Too Much Girl\u003c\/i\u003e and a three-time San Francisco Arts Commission Individual Artist Grantee.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRUBÉN MARTÍNEZ\u003c\/b\u003e, the son and grandson of immigrants from El Salvador and Mexico, is a writer, performer, and professor of literature and writing at Loyola Marymount University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHÉCTOR TOBAR\u003c\/b\u003e is a novelist and journalist, the author of four books, and the Los Angeles-born son of Guatemalan immigrants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 15, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53502840602931,"sku":"9781882688531","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/s8I1O1Ny_b9781882688531.webp?v=1781650994","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/wandering-song-central-american-writing-in-the-united-states-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
