In \u003ci\u003eLetters from Filadelfia\u003c\/i\u003e, Rodrigo Lazo opens a window into Spanish-language writing produced by Spanish American exiles, travelers, and immigrants who settled and passed through Philadelphia during this vibrant era, when the city's printing presses offered a vehicle for the voices advocating independence in the shadow of Spanish colonialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first book-length study of Philadelphia publications by intellectuals such as Vicente Rocafuerte, Jos  Mar a Heredia, Manuel Torres, Juan Germ n Roscio, and Servando Teresa de Mier, \u003ci\u003eLetters from Filadelfia\u003c\/i\u003e offers an approach to discussing their work as part of early Latino literature and the way in which it connects to the United States and other parts of the Americas. Lazo's book is an important contribution to the complex history of the United States' first capital. More than the foundation for the U.S. nation-state, Philadelphia reached far beyond its city limits and, as considered here, suggests new ways to conceptualize what it means to be American.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rodrigo Lazo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813943558\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813943558\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Virginia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/24\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.69d","brand":"Rodrigo Lazo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988289192191,"sku":"9780813943558","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f534688f-6bbe-4927-815f-f8a3d42ae3b4.jpg?v=1683293691","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/letters-from-filadelfia-rodrigo-lazo-9780813943558","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
