When Language Broke Open - An Anthology of Queer and Trans Black Writers of Latin American

This collection of creative offerings by forty-three queer and trans Black writers of Latin American descent helps illustrate Blackness as a geopolitical experience that is always changing. In centering the multifaceted realities of the LGBTQ community, the anthology's contributors challenge everything we think we know about gender, sexuality, race, and what it means to experience a livable life.
