Edited by Sandra Ruiz. Mester Volume XLII: Hemispheric Intersections brings forth the literary and linguistic possibilities when Spanish and Portuguese-speaking worlds traverse and collide. With constant interaction and dialogue, hemispheric contact differs from a simple cross-comparison rather, unfolding how said lived experiences react, change, and/or adapt within the intersections. As nation-states’ political, economic, social and geographic borders are being redefined and reinforced, technological advances, active migration, culture and pursuits beyond the nation simultaneously challenge them. Recent scholarship on Hemispheric Studies has delved into these 'national ruptures,’ extending and overarching into realms traditionally silenced, marginalized and excluded from hemispheric discourses.
