This collection of essays, by fifteen scholars across diverse
fields, explores forty years of writing by Giannina Braschi, one of
the most revolutionary Latinx authors of her generation. Since the
1980s, Braschi's linguistic and structural ingenuities, radical
thinking, and poetic hilarity have spanned the genres of theatre,
poetry, fiction, essay, musical, manifesto, political philosophy,
and spoken word. Her best-known titles are El imperio de los
suenos, Yo-Yo Boing!, and United States of Banana. She writes in
Spanish, Spanglish, and English and embraces timely and enduring
subjects: love, liberty, creativity, environment, economy,
censorship, borders, immigration, debt, incarceration,
colonialization, terrorism, and revolution. Her work has been
widely adapted into theater, photography, film, lithography,
painting, sculpture, comics, and music. The essays in this volume
explore the marvelous ways that Braschi's texts shake upside down
our ideas of ourselves and enrich our understanding of how powerful
narratives can wake us to our higher expectations.
