Recently, Brazilians have also established vibrant communities in the U.S. This anthology brings together, for the first time in English, the writings of these diverse Portuguese-speaking, or "Luso-American" voices. This collection seeks to address this lacuna, with a broad mosaic of prose, poetry, essays, memoir, and other writings.
