SU Hosts ‘Migrant Writings and Hybrid Bodies in the U.S.’ Presentation

SALISBURY, MD---Salisbury University’s Modern Languages and Intercultural Studies Department hosts the presentation “Escrituras migrantes y cuerpos híbridos en Estados Unidos” (“Migrant Writings and Hybrid Bodies in the U.S.”) in Spanish 6 p.m. Thursday, September 30, in Conway Hall Room 152.

Peruvian-American writer Oswaldo Estrada discusses today’s new literary boom in the U.S., his own experiences as an immigrant and writing in Spanish as an act of resistance. His talk includes a reading of some of his short stories. 

Estrada is professor of Latin American literature at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He has authored and edited more than a dozen books of literary and cultural criticism. As a writer of fiction, he has earned the International Latino and Latin American Book Fair Prize from Tufts University and the International Latino Book Award for two of his collections.
