Building on the recent <\/span>Special Issue of <\/span>Latino Studies <\/span><\/i>on US Colombianidades<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>this interdisciplinary edited book<\/span> aims to expand the field of US Colombianx studies in and beyond Latinx Studies. <\/span>As the US Colombianx population gains visibility, the conditions of diasporic Colombianxs challenge various ideas about their histories and lived experiences. How do US Colombianx ethnoracial, gendered, classed, political and cultural experiences complicate or add to our understanding of Latinidad in the US, in the Am\u00e9ricas, and elsewhere in the world? How do they offer new ways of theorizing Latinx people, cultural production, and social movements, as well as serve as an emergent site of criticism for transnational studies? How does the study of diasporic Colombianxs reflect on the future(s) of Latinx Studies or other fields?<\/span><\/p>\n

Our interdisciplinary editorial team invites submission proposals<\/span> from a variety of perspectives on US Colombianidades including those by Latinx, Latin Americanist, Caribbeanist and Colombianist scholars. Submissions from scholars at various levels and independent scholars are welcome. We are open to a range of formats, including interviews <\/span>and self-reflexive essays,<\/span> as well as submissions in English, Spanish, or Spanglish. Final contributions should be 6,000-9000 words<\/span>.<\/span> We invite proposals focused on, but not limited to, the following topics:<\/span><\/p>\n
