Fifteen perspectives on the Latinx diaspora

Edited by Saraciea J. Fennell, this anthology brings together fifteen original pieces that examine myths and stereotypes about the Latinx diaspora. Its subjects range from ghost stories and superheroes to kitchen memories and travel, alongside addiction, grief, identity, anti-Blackness, love, and speaking one’s truth. The variety connects imaginative storytelling with personal and cultural questions, presenting the diaspora through contributors’ distinct experiences rather than a single account. Together, the pieces explore community, identity, and the complexities of representation, with both sorrow and joy among the experiences described.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in essays and stories about Latinx identity and diaspora.
  • Readers seeking varied perspectives on stereotypes, community, and representation.
  • Those interested in collections spanning personal experience, imaginative stories, and social themes.
