    [NT 15000229]: Transnational Latina Narratives is the first critical study of its kind to examine twenty-first-century Latina narratives by female authorsof diverse Latin American heritages based in the U.S. Heredia's comparative perspective on gender, race and migrations between Latin America and the U.S. demonstrates the changing national landscape that needs toaccommodate an ever-growing Latino/a presence. This book draws on the work of Denise Cháavez, Sandra Cisneros, Marta Moreno Vega, Angie Cruz,and Marie Arana, as well as a diverse blend of popular culture. Heredia's thought-provoking insights seek to empower the representation of women who are transnational ambassadors in modern trans-American literature.
