Telling stories of Black Latinidades, this anthology centers the multifaceted realities of the LGBTQ community. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e By exploring themes of memory, care, and futurity, these contributions expand understandings of Blackness in Latin America, the Caribbean, and their U.S.-based diasporas. The volume offers up three central questions: How do queer and\/or trans Black writers of Latin American descent address memory? What are the textures of caring, being cared for, and accepting care as Black queer and\/or trans people of Latin American descent? And how do queer and trans embodiments help us understand and\/or question the past and the present, and construct a Black, queer, and trans future? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The works collected in this anthology encompass a multitude of genres--including poetry, autobiography, short stories, diaries, visual art, and a graphic memoir--and feature the voices of established writers alongside emerging voices. Together, the contributors challenge everything we think we know about gender, sexuality, race, and what it means to experience a livable life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Pelaez Lopez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816549966\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816549962\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Arizona Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.23h x 6.24w x 0.62d","brand":"Alan Pelaez Lopez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44130905620735,"sku":"9780816549962","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_83e51d89-395a-47cb-a370-118668129ff8.jpg?v=1687471921","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/when-language-broke-open-alan-pelaez-lopez-9780816549962","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
