This is the first-ever comprehensive literary survey of the Central American diaspora by a US publisher--perfect for high school, college, or university courses in US literature, Latinx literature, multicultural studies, and migration studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA multi-genre collection featuring poems, short stories, essays, memoir or novel excerpts, and creative nonfiction, the anthology showcases writers who render a multiplicity of experiences: of refugees from the wars of the 1980s, of those who barely remember the homeland, and of those who were born in \u003ci\u003eel norte\u003c\/i\u003e. There are writers from both coasts and from the middle. Their aesthetics range from hip-hop inflected to high literary to acrobatics in Spanglish. It is a community that shares not only a history of violence--both here and back home--but the hope and healing that ensures its survival. The writers include migrants or children of migrants from countries in the so-called Northern Triangle--El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras--considered one of the most violent places on earth, as well as from Belize, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Panamá.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leticia Hernández Linares, Héctor Tobar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1882688538\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781882688531\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tia Chucha\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Leticia Hernández Linares","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43982701003007,"sku":"9781882688531","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d2c8b013-237f-4296-ae30-a1a67e719082.jpg?v=1683262583","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-wandering-song-leticia-hern-ndez-linares-9781882688531","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
