"This book interrogates the identity politics involved in framing Colombian diasporas, examining the ways that creative writers, directors, performers, and artists negotiate collective and personal experiences that shape their identities through their art and cultural productions. New consideration of the diversity of Afro-Latin American and indigenous communities within the overarching categorization of "Colombianness" or Colombianidad have led to increased focus on the representation of Colombia and Colombian diasporic communities. By focusing on different cultural productions-novels, memoirs, films, plays, and visual arts-- this volume analyzes the performance of Colombianidad by communities throughout the diaspora. Topics include Afro-Colombian, US-Latinx, Caribbean and queer identity, marginalization of racialized bodies within Colombia and the Colombian diaspora, and the politics of identity representation. Colombian Diasporic Identities: Representations in Literature, Film, Theater, and Art examines how a consciously Colombian diasporic existence travels and is altered across geographic locales. Colombian Diasporic Identities will be key reading for scholars and students in US Latinx studies, and Latin American diasporic studies, together with Ethnic Studies, Gender Studies, Queer Studies and Literature"--
