Volume 15, Number 2 (2012)
Volume 15, Number 2, brings a theme of dislocation and exile in Latino and other immigrant experience. Articles discuss writing as an act of resistance to the perpetual silence imposed upon exile; transit as a metaphor for mortality in the text Otras cartas a Milena by Reina María Rodríguez; and other exilic experiences discussed through creative writing and poetry. Includes a new story by Cristina García.Articles
