From the Back Cover
This collection of interviews demonstrates that U.S. Latinas/os of South American background have contributed pioneering work to U.S. Latina/o literature and culture in the twenty-first century. In conversation with twelve significant authors of South American descent in the United States, Juanita Heredia reveals that, through their transnational experiences, they have developed multicultural identities throughout different regions and cities across the country. However, these authors' works also exemplify a return to their heritage in South America through memory and travel, often showing that they maintain strong cultural and literary ties across national borders. As such, they have created a new chapter in trans-American history by finding new ways of imagining South America from their formation and influences in the U.S.

Juanita Heredia is Professor of Spanish at Northern Arizona University, USA. She is the author of Transnational Latina Narratives in the Twenty-first Century: The Politics of Gender, Race and Migrations (2009) and co-editor of Latina Self-Portraits: Interviews with Contemporary Women Writers (2000). While she was a post-doctoral Fellow at UCLA she advanced work on her critical monograph, Transnational Latinas/os and the City: Negotiating Urban Experiences in Twenty-first Century Literature and Culture.
