Latino and Latin American Profiles. 6 x 9. 248 pages. paperback. keywords: Latin America Poetry Literary Studies. DESCRIPTION - The Once and Future Muse presents the first major study of the life and work of Dominican-born bilingual American poet and translator Rhina P. Espaillat (b. 1932). Beginning with her literary celebrity as the youngest poet ever inducted into the Poetry Society of America, it traces her relative obscurity after 1952 when she married and took on family and employment responsibilities, to her triumphant return to the poetry spotlight decades later when she reclaimed her former prestige with a series of award-winning poetry collections. The authors define Espaillat's place in American letters with attention to her formalist aesthetics, Hispanic Caribbean immigrant background, poetic community-building, bilingual ethos, and domestically-minded woman-of-color feminism. Addressing the temporality of her oeuvre - her publishing before and after the splitting of American literature into distinct ethnic segments - this work also highlights the demands that the social transformations of the 1960s placed on literary artists, critics, and readers alike. There is no way to understand the great new wave of Hispanic poetry without recognizing the singular achievement of Rhina P. Espaillat. Her understated, compressed, and classical poems upend all the Anglo clichEs about Latino poetry. Her lyrics are as cool as a Chet Baker solo and just as deeply felt. Uninsistent and self-assured, Espaillat is the urbane voice of the new Latino poetry. - Dana Gioia. This comprehensive volume makes a place for Espaillat as a major poet through a range of identities: a woman, a Latina, an immigrant, a bilingual speaker, a mother, and a wife, but most particularly as a formalist. That so many groups make a claim to her speaks to her enduring appeal. - Kim Bridgford. inventory #43694. …

Paperback. Condizione: New. Silvio Torres-Saillant's collected writings examine political contradictions within Latinx identity in the United States.Since the 1990s Silvio Torres-Saillant's work has questioned the notion of Latinidad, challenging presumptions of panethnic unity within the US Hispanic population and assessing dominant modes of Latinx representation. The essays in Problematic Paradigms and the Contours of US Latinidad examine the dynamics of a diverse collective of over 65 million people whose cultural heritage, ancestral origins, and belief systems arguably differ as much as they resemble one another. The volume dissects prevailing assumptions, namely the essentializing sense of homogeneity in the Latinx "community," which mask important nuances and fascinating contradictions. Torres-Saillant also targets the role of marketing and mass communications in shaping popular perceptions of ethnic groups, thereby tracing connections between media rhetoric and the language of scholarship.Newly revised by editors Nancy Kang and Michael Nieto Garcia, this collection curates Torres-Saillant's core contributions to Latinx studies over the last two decades and underscores the veteran scholar's evolving thoughts on key conversations in the field. The epilogue narrates his beginnings in Caribbean studies, acknowledges his ongoing analysis of Dominican blackness, and discourages uncritical views of cultural heritage.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. 2nd Revised edition. Unique in crossing the cultural divides between the area's Anglophone and non-English speaking communities, Caribbean Poetics features authors from the Dominican Republic, Barbados and Haiti. The anthology has now been expanded to include new criticism of three of the Caribbean's most influential modern artists: Kamau Brathwaite, Pedro Mir and Rene Depestre."Discussions of Caribbean literary aesthetics have tended to focus on the writing of one of the main linguistic blocs of the region. Silvio Torres-Saillant's study is a welcome addition to work that considers commonalities across these blocs."John Thieme, World Literature TodaySilvio Torres-Saillant is the senior editor of the Oxford Encyclopedia of Latinos and Latinas in the United States (2005). He is also the author of An Intellectual History of the Caribbean (Macmillan, 2006). He teaches at Syracuse University, and lives in New York City.…
