Klarman Fellow co-edits trilingual ‘Queer Latin American Voices’

Romina Wainberg, Klarman Fellow in Romance studies in the College of Arts and Sciences, is co-editor of the trilingual collected volume “Queer Latin American Voices” (Katakana, 2024), which contains brief texts and illustrations by Latin American LGBTQIA+ writers and artists, accompanied by responses by queer academics in Spanish, Portuguese or English. Translations and visual art pieces illuminate the written works.

In addition to co-editing the project, Wainberg contributed a response to “solidão americana,” a poem by Brazilian author Luciany Aparecida.

The book, which Wainberg co-edited with Alberto Quintero of Stanford University, brings together a diverse range of voices expressing different forms of queer being and becoming, “in the hope that this multimodal gathering will prompt further opportunities for visibility, circulation and collaboration,” the editors wrote.
