Translocalities/Translocalidades is a path-breaking collection of
essays on Latin American, Caribbean, and United States-based Latina
feminisms and their multiple translations and cross-pollinations.
The contributors come from countries throughout the Americas and
are based in diverse disciplines, including media studies,
literature, Chicana/o studies, and political science. Together,
they advocate a hemispheric politics based on the knowledge that
today, many sorts of Latin/o-americanidades-Afro, queer,
indigenous, feminist, and so on-are constructed through processes
of translocation. Latinidad in the South, North and Caribbean
"middle" of the Americas, is constituted out of the intersections
of the intensified cross-border, transcultural, and translocal
flows that characterize contemporary transmigration throughout the
hemisphere, from La Paz to Buenos Aires to Chicago and back again.
Rather than immigrating and assimilating, many people in the
Latin/a Americas increasingly move back and forth between
localities, between historically situated and culturally specific,
though increasingly porous, places, across multiple borders, and
not just between nations. The contributors deem these
multidirectional crossings and movements, and the positionalities
engendered, translocalities/translocalidades. Contributors. Sonia
