Indigenous Literatures from a Word Literature Perspective
Hi! I’m seeking a coauthor for a book chapter to be published by De Gruyter in a monograph on Latin American studies and world literature. My approach is environmental-related, with special focus on endangered languages. While I can deal with world literature studies and cultural diversity issues, I’m seeking a coauthor who can work on one or more specific indigenous languague/s and their literatures in the Americas.
If you’re interested, please contact me asap: cesar.dominguez@usc.es
