Nuyorican Women Playwrights
Puerto Rican Poets, Novelists, Playwrights
Diasporic Journeys is a collection of interviews on contemporary Diasporic Puerto Rican and Nuyorican playwrights, poets, and novelists publishing and performing throughout the United States and abroad. The collection includes interviews with varied topics, thematic concerns, and accomplishments in each author’s life and works. Taken as a whole, the experiences of these writers provide insights into the effects of Puerto Rican migration and displacement from a national culture but also highlight a progressive socialization process that informs their writing and worldviews.
The interviews simultaneously display how the reality of those born and/or raised in the US is informed by an earlier generation of Puerto Rican writers, while at the same time creating a distinct style pertinent to a new age of Puerto Rican literary production in the United States.
The Nuyorican and Puerto Rican playwrights, novelists, and poets in the collection include:
Giannina Braschi, Rodney Morales, Luisita López Torregrosa, Lawrence La Fountain-Stokes, Javier Ávila, José Luis Torres-Padilla, Aya de León, María Teresa “Mariposa” Fernández, Caridad de la Luz, Migdalia Cruz, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Quiara Alegría Hudes, and Raquel Salas Rivera.
