Table of ContentsReviewsEmbodied Economies is a thought-provoking Caribbean diasporic voyage that challenges us to rethink our expectations about Latinx culture under neoliberalism. In his accessible yet profoundly learned prose, Israel Reyes offers inspired queer, feminist, and social-science inflected readings of relevant literary and theatrical works in English and Spanish by prize-winning playwrights, novelists, and performers. This book is an eagerly awaited contribution to transnational, hemispheric studies of the Americas. --Lawrence La Fountain-Stokes author of Translocas: The Politics of Puerto Rican Drag and Trans Performance Embodied Economies offers a welcome expansion and deepening of current critical conversations about the work of contemporary US Latinx literature and literary studies. Reyes effectively balances the ambition of his theoretical and methodological interventions with a finely tuned, elegant praxis of granularly close textual readings. He engages established scholars and new students in the field with a generative critical inquiry and exchange whose value and necessity will be proven in the very kind of work they will make newly possible. --Ricardo L.
