Tia Chucha Press is proud to present an anthology of Central
American writers living in the United States. It features work that
captures the complexity of a rapidly growing community that shares
certain experiences with other Latino groups, but also offers its
own unique narrative. This is the first-ever comprehensive literary
survey of the Central American diaspora by a U.S. publisher,
perfect for high school, college, or university courses in U.S.
literature, Latino literature, multicultural studies, and migration
studies. A multi-genre collection - including poems, short stories,
essays, memoir or novel excerpts, and creative nonfiction - the
book showcases writers who render a multiplicity of experiences, as
refugees from the wars of the 1980s to those who barely remember
the homeland or who were born in el norte. There are writers from
both coasts and from the middle. Their aesthetics range from
hip-hop inflected to high literary to acrobatics in Spanglish. Yet
it is a community that shares a history of violence - both here and
back home - and the hope and healing that ensures its survival.
They include migrants or children of migrants from countries in the
so-called Northern Triangle - El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras
- considered one of the most violent places on earth, as well as
from Belize, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Panama.
