Buenas Noches, American Culture: Latina/o Aesthetics of Night

Buenas Noches, American Culture: Latina/o Aesthetics of Night

Often treated like night itselfâ€•both visible and invisible, feared and romanticizedâ€•Latina/os make up the largest minority group in the US. In her newest work, MarÃa DeGuzmÃ¡n explores representations of night in art and literature from the Caribbean, Colombia, Central and South America, and the US, calling into question nightâ€™s effect on the formation of identity for Latina/os in and outside of the US. She takes as her subject novels, short stories, poetry, essays, non-fiction, photo-fictions, photography, and film, and examines these texts through the lenses of nationhood, sexuality, human rights, exoticism, among others.
