This Presentation Is an Invitation

For this issue we had the alegría of collaborating with a committee composed of poets, scholars, and writers. Their call for submissions ignited this issue’s sample of poetry, prose, and essays about and in American indigenous languages, and we have the fortuna of representing Pa Ipai, Tu´un Sávi, Tseltal, and Dizhsa.

Editorial: The Beginning and the Path Forward

We, thus, envision Latin@ Literatures as something more than a bookshelf, we intend for it to become more like the home or the park, a space for cultural gathering, interaction, and exchange; a space wherein our experiences can continue to tell the stories about who we are, where we come from, and where we are going.
