To give voice to this complicated identity, this volume investigates how cultures of ghost storytelling foreground a sense of belonging and home in people from LatIndigenous landscapes. \u003ci\u003eMonsters and Saints \u003c\/i\u003ereflects intersectional and intergenerational understandings of lived experiences, bodies, and traumas as narrated through embodied hauntings. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Contributions to this anthology represent a commitment to thoughtful inquiry into the ways storytelling assigns meaning through labels like monster, saint, and ghost, particularly as these unfold in the context of global migration. For many marginalized and displaced peoples, a sense of belonging is always haunted through historical exclusion from an original homespace. This exclusion further manifests as limited bodily autonomy. By locating the concept of \"home\" as beyond physical constructs, the volume argues that spectral stories and storytelling practices of LatIndigeneity (re)configure affective states and spaces of being, becoming, migrating, displacing, and belonging.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShantel Martinez \u003c\/b\u003eis a practitioner-scholar who centers place-based storytelling practices to examine cycles of intergenerational trauma and survival in both familial and educational spaces.\u003cb\u003e Kelly Medina-López \u003c\/b\u003eis a Piro-Manso-Tiwa Border-Indigenous scholar whose work focuses on histories, rhetorics, and storytelling practices of the US Southwest, New Mexico, and specifically Paso del Norte.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 310\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.65 x 9.25 x 6.12 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 30, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51750317621536,"sku":"9781496848741","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/bbf612012c83247e668138edf2f2624f.webp?v=1779948148","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/monsters-and-saints-latindigenous-landscapes-and-spectral-storytelling-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
