Beschreibung
This book examines the transnational dynamics that shape Latina affect narrative from the 1990s through the twenty-first century. Villanueva-Nieves argues that Latina narratives function as affective maps, using storytelling to chart emotional landscapes experienced differently by Mestizas, white Latinas, and Black Latinas across various historical periods and transnational territories. The analysis presented in this work demonstrates that Latina affect, as a tool for spacemaking, not only counters the dominant forces of US white supremacy but also interacts with Latin American racial ideologies, such as mestizaje and blanqueamiento.
Natalia Villanueva-Nieves is Assistant Professor of Chicanx and Latinx Studies in the Department of Ethnic Studies and Languages at Sonoma State University, USA.

Develops a relational and hemispheric perspective that addresses Latinx affect as a transnational phenomenon Analyzes Latinx emotions in relation to the enforcement and disruption of racial, gender, and spatial hierarchies Departs from the central symbiosis between storytelling, the body, space, and emotion in Latinx literature
