Extra\u00f1ando Is Lost in Translation <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

by Anyely Dickerson<\/strong><\/p>\n

Any\u00e9ly G\u00f3mez-Dickerson <\/strong>was born in Habana, Cuba and immigrated on a leaky boat from the port of Mariel in 1980.

As a school leader, she trained teachers how to use poetry, short stories, and essays as social commentary tools to empower students. For her, being a Latina writer means creating art with \u201cteeth\u201d that sheds light on social issues and injustices plaguing marginalized communities and fosters the tough conversations needed to catapult real change. She also had the pleasure of editing and publishing several literary journals, including\u00a0<\/em>editions of\u00a0Voices from the Middle: A Literary Showcase,<\/em> all before retiring to give her writing the full-time attention it demanded. Her current project involves researching and exposing her years living in those parts of Miami not included on the travel brochure, exploring her own mixed story of black, European, and Ta\u00edna ancestry going back as far as Cuba’s time of slavery and its exploitation under Spanish rule. Any\u00e9ly currently resides with her better half in Honolulu, Hawaii, her new island home away from home.<\/p>\n

Short Story <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Worlds Apart<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

by Reyna E. Vergara\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reyna E. Vergara is an Assistant Professor of Spanish at Mississippi University for Women. She\u2019s of Central American descent. Her writing focuses on the struggle of the colonial subject, whether in terms of gender or race. For her, being a first-generation Latina in the United States means living in-between. It is waking up every morning with a sense of displacement, a feeling that propels her to find her own sense of identity. Through writing, she\u2019s able to revisit the land of her ancestors in an attempt to re-connect to that part of her that was left behind. Her pieces have appeared in \u00c1mbitos Feministas<\/em>, Confluencia<\/em>, the Modern Language Studies Journal<\/em>, and the Journal of Latina Critical Feminism<\/em>.<\/p>\n
