ABSTRACT

This article analyses the new challenges faced by US Latinx literature in the Trump era by focusing on the complex ways in which different representations of the borderlands in US Latinx literature negotiate and are placed into a dialogue with exclusionary understandings of nationhood. In order to carry out this task, I will explore the dialectics between Latinx representations of transnational circuits in the borderlands and anti-immigration discourses. My contention is that in the midst of the current nationalist wave, Latinx literature counterweighs Trump's radicalism, offering alternative approaches to the border region and its people. More specifically, I will centre on one particular work, Elizondo Griest's All the Agents and Saints: Dispatches from the US Borderlands (2017), and the ways in which this book interrogates and expands our knowledge of the borderlands.

特朗普时代边境地区的派遣:拉丁裔写作回击

摘要

本文分析了特朗普时代美国拉丁文学面临的新挑战,重点关注美国拉丁文学中对边界的不同表现形式进行协商并置于具有排他性的民族性理解的对话中的复杂方式。为了完成这项任务,我将探讨边境地区跨国电路的拉丁语表征与反移民话语之间的辩证法。我的论点是,在当前的民族主义浪潮中,拉丁文学与特朗普的激进主义相抗衡,为边境地区及其人民提供了替代方法。更具体地说,我将专注于一项特别的工作,Elizondo Griest 的All the Agents and Saints: Dispatches from the US Borderlands (2017 年),以及本书询问和扩展我们对边境地区知识的方式。
