New Spain, New Literatures
Ed. Luis Martín-Estudillo and Nicholas Spadaccini
This volume, which includes essays on Catalonia, the Basque country, and Galicia, and literature written by African immigrants, focuses on issues of "difference" that are at the center of current debates in Spain and elsewhere—the emergence of minoritzed literatures, multilingualism and identity, new relationships between culture and institutions, the negotiation of historical memories, the connections between migrations and the redefinition of nationhood, and the impact of global trends on local symbolic systems.
