Latina/o/x places exist as both tangible physical phenomena and
gatherings created and maintained by creative cultural practices.
In this collection, an interdisciplinary group of contributors
critically examines the many ways that varied Latina/o/x
communities cohere through cultural expression. Authors consider
how our embodied experiences of place, together with our histories
and knowledge, inform our imagination and reimagination of our
surroundings in acts of placemaking. This placemaking often
considers environmental sustainability as it helps to sustain
communities in the face of xenophobia and racism through cultural
expression ranging from festivals to zines to sanctuary movements.
It emerges not only in specific locations but as movement within
and between sites; not only as part of a built environment, but
also as an aesthetic practice; and not only because of efforts by
cultural, political, and institutional leaders, but through mass
media and countless human interactions. A rare and crucial
perspective on Latina/o/x people in the Midwest, Building
Sustainable Worlds reveals how expressive culture contributes to,
and sustains, a sense of place in an uncertain era.
