Crime fiction can interrupt old notions of justice & offer new visions for a fairer world. If you’ve ever considered trying your hand at the genre, I’m offering a one-week course this July in Maine. Join us! mainemedia.edu/workshops/item…

This should be a talk of great interest to anyone interested in film, as it will, among other matters, discuss José R. Soltero's experimental film *Diálogo con el Che* (1968).

This should be good. The HumanitiesontheEdge team is looking forward to see you at the Sheldon Museum of Art on Wednesday.

Excited to share both of these new books at the Latina/o/x Studies Association Association conference in Tempe this week. (My first time in Arizona!)

Our bilingual edition of a 1918 collection of poetry (with a new introduction) is coming in October from University Press of Florida.

#Latinxlit 🇨🇺 #KeyWest

In the 19th & early 20th centuries, an anticolonial, antiracist, pro-labor Cuban émigré community flourished in Key West—but it's been almost lost to history. Our bilingual edition (University Press of Florida, October 2024) recovers one poet's 1918 volume of work.
