"Yaguaretâe White is a lyrical exploration of Paraguayan whiteness, or White Latinidad, or what it means to see through a colored whiteness, tangled and untidy and contradictory as that is. The book is especially interested in inheritance and legacy, imperialism and empire, family and offspring"--

"When Language Broke Open is a collection of writing by Black queer and trans writers of Latin American descent who help us see Blackness as a geopolitical experience that is always changing.

"This multiple viewpoint novel, set in El Paso, Texas, is a story of two families-one Mexican-American, one Anglo-who find themselves unexpectedly entangled with one another when each of their households separately implode. When the Mexican maid working in both houses begins to suspect that all is not what it seems, she is implicated in the unfolding of a web of mysteries, history, and border politics that forces all concerned to question their own pasts, their understanding of family, and their relationships to a place on the map that is never as clear-cut as it seems"--

Born of Mexican immigrants, raised in El Paso, and now living in New York City, Troncoso has a rare knack for celebrating life. Writing in a straightforward, light-handed style reminiscent of Grace Paley and Raymond Carver, he spins charming tales that reflect his experiences in two worlds. Beginning with Troncoso's widely acclaimed story "Angie Luna", the tale of a feverish love affair in which a young man rediscovers his Mexican heritage and learns how much love can hurt, these stories form a richly textured tapestry that adds to our understanding of what it is to be human.

Inspired by one of the few existing treatises on the culture of Nahuatl--the Indian language primarily spoken by the Aztec--Snake Poems, by award-winning poet Francisco X.

Wanderers and writers, gangbangers and lawyers, dreamers and devils. The King of Lighting Fixtures paints an idiosyncratic but honest portrait of Los Angeles, depicting how the city both entrances and confounds. Each story serves as a reflection of Daniel A. Olivas's grand City of Angels, a "magical metropolis where dreams come true."

Palm Frond with Its Throat Cut uses both humor and sincerity to capture moments in time with a sense of compassion for the hard choices we must make to survive. Vértiz's poetry shows how history, oppression, and resistance don't just refer to big events or movements; they play out in our everyday lives, in the intimate spaces of family, sex, and neighborhood. Vértiz's poems ask us to see Los Angeles--and all cities like it--as they have always been: an America of code-switching and reinvention, of lyric and fight.

In the Mexican Catholic tradition, retablos are ornamental structures made of carved wood framing an oil painting of a devotional image, usually a patron saint. Acclaimed author and essayist Rigoberto González commemorates the passion and the pain of these carvings in his new volume Red-Inked Retablos, a moving memoir of human experience and thought. The collection offers an in-depth meditation on the development of gay Chicano literature and the responsibilities of the Chicana/o writer.

Buzzing Hemisphere / Rumor Hemisférico imagines an alternative to the monolingualism of the U.S. literary and political landscape, and it proposes a geo-neuro-political performance attuned to damaged or marginalized forms of knowledge, perception, and identity. Poet Urayoán Noel maps the spaces between and across languages, cities, and bodies, creating a hemispheric poetics that is both broadly geopolitical and intimately neurological.
