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.
Latin@ Literatures provides a bold, vital new digital canvas for showcasing Latina/o fiction, poetry, visual art, and intellectual inquiry. With its 21st century anything-goes rasquache and punk spirit, there are no limits to Latina/o art and creative expression.
