Description
Dworkin y Mendez, Kenya and Agnes Lugo-Ortiz. Recovering the U.S. Hispanic Literary Heritage, Volume V. Houston: Arte Publico Press, 2006. ISBN 978-1-55885-371-3. 217 pp. Since its inception in the early 1990s, the Recovering the U.S. Hispanic Literary Heritage Project, under the direction of Nicolas Kanellos, has consistently drawn attention to less well-unknown U.S. Hispanic texts by bringing them into contemporary circulation and scholarly discussions. Over the course of 15 years, the Project has published five volumes dedicated to this mission, which are titled Recovering the U.S. Hispanic Literary Heritage. In the introduction to volume V of the series, co-editors Kenya Dworkin y Mendez and Agnes Lugo-Ortiz offer a brief overview of the major issues at stake in each of the previous volumes: volume one was archeological in nature, focusing on documenting the existence of U.S. Hispanic literary production and offering a new literary terrain; volume two looked at the Latino/a historical experience, taking note of the "internal differences" (3) within Latino/a subjectivity; volume three attempted to break free from national boundaries and look at U.S. Hispanic culture as a porous and dynamic body of works and practices; and finally, volume four continued this impulse to explode national boundaries by theorizing the "trans-American trajectory of Latino/a writing" (5). Recovering the U.S. Hispanic Literary Heritage, Volume V takes note of the main shifts and questions behind the previous volumes as it continues the discussion.
