Reimagining US Colombianidades: Transnational subjectivities, cultural expressions, and political contestations (original) (raw)

Latino Studies, 2020

Abstract

This special issue foregrounds overlooked instances of Colombianidades in the United States and centers US Colombian community formations, transnational imaginaries, media representations, involvement in electoral politics, and queer activism in relation to other (not “other”) Latina/o/xs. In thinking of US Colombians alongside Latina/o/xs of multiple national, racial, gender, sexual, and socioeconomic identities, we collectively unveil the uniquely Colombian stories that have shaped and continue to shape Latina/o/x cultures, politics, and lives. Our goal for this introduction and for all of the articles included herein is to contribute to an interdisciplinary archive of US Colombian scholarship, to intentionally deploy citational politics in the service of helping scholars pursue research on US Colombianidades, and to provide readers with a sense of the various experiences and narratives of Colombianidad.
