Puerto Rican writers living in the United States and writing in
English find themselves astride two cultures, two languages, and
two ways of looking at life. They also find two sets of prejudice:
racial, cultural, and linguistic bias in the United States; and
rejection from Puerto Rican society. In this vibrant collection of
interviews, Hernandez presents portraits of 14 of the most
prominent Puerto Rican writers living in the United States and
offers the first chance for them to speak directly about their
lives and their literary tradition. Taken as a whole, the diverse
experiences of these writers provide an insight into the effects of
early displacement from a national culture, and how perceived
prejudice and hostility can breed, in turn, either violence and
hate, or a wish to excel and to communicate.
