Junot Diaz and the Decolonial Imagination by Monica Hanna
This interdisciplinary collection considers how Dominican-American writer Junot Diaz's aesthetic and activist practice reflect an unprecedented maturation of a shift in American letters toward a hemispheric and planetary culture. Career spanning, the essays examine the intersections of race, Afro-Latinidad, gender, sexuality, disability, poverty, and power in Diaz's work.
"Essential reading for casual readers as well as students and scholars of Junot DÍaz's literary production" - Marisel Moreno (Modern Fiction Studies) "A groundbreaking publication which unpacks the levels of complexity of DÍaz’s writing and paves the way for future lines of inquiry into his work." - Laura Gallon (Textual Practice)
