In \u003ci\u003eThe Language of the In-Between\u003c\/i\u003e, Erika Almenara contends that literary production replicates this same process. Looking at marginalized communities in Chile and Peru, particularly writers who are \u003ci\u003etravesti\u003c\/i\u003e, trans, cuir\/queer, and Indigenous, the author shows how these writers stake a claim for the liminal space that is neither one thing nor the other. This allows a freedom to expose oppression and to critique a national identity based on erasure. By employing a language of nonnormative gender and sexuality to dispute the state projects of modernity and modernization, the voice of the poor and racialized \u003ci\u003etravesti\u003c\/i\u003e evolves from powerlessness to become an agent of social transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erika Almenara\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822947277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822947271\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/08\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.58h x 5.51w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2023","brand":"Erika Almenara","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075436048639,"sku":"9780822947271","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f1603710-e7c3-4dce-930e-92c08d06ad40.jpg?v=1685459409","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-language-of-the-in-between-erika-almenara-9780822947271","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
