Zamora Monsters and Saints: LatIndigenous Landscapes and Spectral
Storytelling is a collection of stories, poetry, art, and essays
divining the contemporary intersection of Latinx and Indigenous
cultures from the American Southwest, Mexico, and Central and South
America. To give voice to this complicated identity, this volume
investigates how cultures of ghost storytelling foreground a sense
of belonging and home in people from LatIndigenous landscapes.
Monsters and Saints reflects intersectional and intergenerational
understandings of lived experiences, bodies, and traumas as
narrated through embodied hauntings. Contributions to this
anthology represent a commitment to thoughtful inquiry into the
ways storytelling assigns meaning through labels like monster,
saint, and ghost, particularly as these unfold in the context of
global migration. For many marginalized and displaced peoples, a
sense of belonging is always haunted through historical exclusion
from an original homespace. This exclusion further manifests as
limited bodily autonomy. By locating the concept of "home" as
beyond physical constructs, the volume argues that spectral stories
and storytelling practices of LatIndigeneity (re)configure
affective states and spaces of being, becoming, migrating,
displacing, and belonging.
