This collection of essays interrogate the different myths and stereotypes about the Latinx diaspora. The pieces delve into everything from ghost stories and superheroes, to memories in the kitchen and travels around the world, to addiction and grief, to identity and anti-Blackness, to finding love and speaking your truth. The result is an essential celebration of this rich and diverse community. -- adapted from Introduction
