Klappentext

"Building on sociolinguistic understandings of the intersections of language, nation, and identity, this book examines the literatures of the unstandardized languages of Spanglish, Portuänol, and Judeo-Spanish to develop the theoretical frameworks of linguistic labor and literary doulas. In placing the emergence of these languages in their respective geographies and contexts, Attig discusses the work of authors and "literary doulas" in these languages - including Susana Châavez-Silverman, Giannina Braschi, Saâul Ibargoyen, Wilson Bueno, Fabiâan Severo, and Matilda Koâen-Sarano - and places these literatures and theories in discussion with emerging scholarship in translinguistics, queer theories, and translation studies"--
