 “Latining America urges us to consider how easily we consent to the proper homes for people and ideas: in our academic disciplines; as national subjects utilizing ethnic and racial designations; in our narration of migrations, origins, and symbols; in the lines along which we ‘naturally’ organize for our various struggles; in the way the publishing industry interpellates us as writers and readers. Milian both respects the integrity of these received categories and urges us to rethink them.”—Faith Smith, editor of Sex and the Citizen: Interrogating the Caribbean.
