Rezensionen

"Mapping South American Latina/a Literature in the United States: Interviews with Contemporary Writers by Juanita Heredia is a welcome critical Intervention ... . The volume is overall a much-needed contribution to the growing field of Latina/o literature in the United States. ... Mapping will be valuable to scholars of Latina/o and Latin American contemporary literature, queer and gender studies, and multi-ethnic U.S. literature; and a companion to students reading works by these twelve authors in undergraduate or graduate courses." (Manuela Borzone, Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature STTCL, Vol. 46 (1), 2022)
"This text may serve as a useful resource for educatorswishing to provide students with a contemporary context to the works studied in their courses, and would also be an enjoyable read for the general intellectual." (Carolyn González, Latino Studies, Vol. 19, 2021)
