Reviews

With breadth, depth, originality, and intellectual acumen, Reyes-Santos builds on her conceptualization of transcolonial and transnational kinship through a number of social and cultural examples to arrive at a more diversified approach in literary and cultural studies. --Myrna Garcia-Calderon Syracuse University


Alai Reyes-Santos's elegant work unites vernacular and elite voices to discuss nationalist thought in the Spanish-speaking Caribbean. Her insights help us claim our intellectual traditions in contemporary struggles for justice. --April J. Mayes author of The Mulatto Republic: Class, Race, and Dominican National Identity (02/20/2015)
