About this product
Product Information
The first sustained critical examination of the work of Dominican-American writer Junot D az, this interdisciplinary collection considers how D az's writing illuminates the world of Latino cultural expression and trans-American and diasporic literary history. Interested in conceptualizing D az's decolonial imagination and his radically re-envisioned world, the contributors show how his aesthetic and activist practice reflect a significant shift in American letters toward a hemispheric and planetary culture. They examine the intersections of race, Afro-Latinidad, gender, sexuality, disability, poverty, and power in D az's work. Essays in the volume explore issues of narration, language, and humor in The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao , the racialized constructions of gender and sexuality in Drown and This Is How You Lose Her , and the role of the zombie in the short story "Monstro." Collectively, they situate D az's writing in relation to American and Latin American literary practices and reveal the author's activist investments. The volume concludes with Paula Moya's interview with D az. Contributors: Glenda R. Carpio, Arlene D vila, Lyn Di Iorio, Junot D az, Monica Hanna, Jennifer Harford Vargas, Ylce Irizarry, Claudia Milian, Julie Avril Minich, Paula M. L. Moya, Sarah Quesada, Jos David Sald var, Ram n Sald var, Silvio Torres-Saillant, Deborah R. Vargas

" Junot Daz and the Decolonial Imagination is as wondrous as the work of the author inspiring it. It contains a rich sampling of interdisciplinary Latino/a studies brilliance that reflects from myriad perspectives the stunning singular influence of Daz's work. A vibrant analysis of contemporary Latino/a cultural politics and a major contribution." , Essential reading for casual readers as well as students and scholars of Junot Díaz's literary production., Powerfully seductive and so cagey that literary classics and models become mere forerunners of his own moves, Junot Díaz does more than delight us. He also arrests the attention of critical readers who accompany him, in great style and subtle substance. This collection of brilliant essays follows Junot's masterful lead to give historical, sociological, linguistic, but primarily and gloriously stylistic accounts of his wrestling American English into an ethnically mixed medium of decolonized compositions., 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., " Junot Díaz and the Decolonial Imagination is as wondrous as the work of the author inspiring it. It contains a rich sampling of interdisciplinary Latino/a studies brilliance that reflects from myriad perspectives the stunning singular influence of Díaz's work. A vibrant analysis of contemporary Latino/a cultural politics and a major contribution."

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!
