The focus of this study lies on the hybrid and partly transnational cultural identities of these life writers. Since Nuyorican and \"NuRican\" life writing undermines the given context of the (neo-)colonial status, decisive attempts at decolonisation take place. The authors use the rather subversive strategy of jaibaria, a Puerto Rican folk tactic; the filmmakers are more overt with their tools of directness voiced in confrontation and provocation. Combining psychology, sociology and postcolonial studies in an interdisciplinary approach within the realm of Transnational American Studies, this work reveals \"living in-between\" as a difficult yet decisive experience leading to a conscious and active support of a shared humanity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christin Freyer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3825361462\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783825361464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Universitatsverlag Winter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 293\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.60w x 0.90d","brand":"Christin Freyer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48446413930751,"sku":"9783825361464","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_94e22710-2539-4e60-b968-ff2c69972092.jpg?v=1777224470","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/revolving-door-life-writing-christin-freyer-9783825361464","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
