{"product_id":"9780791484012","title":"Redreaming America: Toward a Billingual American Culture","description":"What would American literature look like in languages other than English, and what would Latin American literature look like if we understood the United States to be a Latin American country and took seriously the work by U.S. Latinos\/as in Spanish? Debra A. Castillo explores these questions by highlighting the contributions of Latinos\/as writing in Spanish and Spanglish. Beginning with the anonymously published 1826 novel Jicoténcal and ending with fiction published at the turn of the twenty-first century, the book details both the characters' and authors' struggles with how to define an American self. Writers from Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Mexico are featured prominently, alongside a sampling of those writers from other Latin American heritages (Peru, Colombia, Chile). Castillo concludes by offering some thoughts on U.S. curricular practice.","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47123098796272,"sku":"9780791484012","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780791484012_p0.jpg?v=1763667564","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780791484012","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
