Synopsis:

The emergence of transnational spaces has been a recurring theme in much of Latino literature in the United States. However, what has perhaps been less noticed is the interplay between transnational and queer aspects in the digital age. This trend is particularly evident in various twenty-first-century works examined in this book, authored by individuals such as Achy Obejas, Felicia Luna Lemus, Sonia Rivera-Valdés, Maya Chinchilla, Daisy Hernández and Gabby Rivera. To capture the essence of this new direction found in these texts, the term “Latinx” is introduced here—a concept that gained traction on the internet, especially after 2015, to embrace a more inclusive and flexible perspective on gender identities.
