The borderless tongue writes back. Following the re-election of Donald Trump as President of the United States, there has been a disturbing surge in racial profiling, discrimination, persecution, detainment and deportation of Latinx and Indigenous peoples across North America. This xenophobic campaign reflects a broader trend across the West – one that scapegoats immigration for social and economic instability and targets already vulnerable migrant communities. Yet amidst this global crisis, we also find resilience, pride and cultural power, especially here in our own backyard. In this first-ever collection of stories, essays and poems by Australian writers from the Latinx diaspora, you are invited to experience the beauty, vibrance and strength of the Latin American community.
