Description:
Ilan Stavans is one of the foremost Latino scholars, and here his best essays are collected into one volume. From Selena and Subcomandante Marcos to Cisneros and Paz, these beautifully written pieces explore the breadth of contemporary Latino-American culture, depicting and analyzing what he calls 'life in the hyphen'. As a Mexican Jew whose native languages are Yiddish and Spanish, Stavans writes in English to limn the tensions, contradictions, and possibilities within the complex notion of a multi-cultural identity.
