Bøger i Portuguese in the Americas Series serien

Presenting experimental and boundary-breaking prose from women, people of colour, and LGBTQ writers, Behind the Stars, More Stars imagines a more diverse and inclusive Luso-American and Portuguese-American literary scene, which has traditionally been dominated by male voices.

Renata Ferreira's poems were composed in the final years of Portugal's fascist regime, exposing and subverting the government's draconian edicts. Presenting the poems of this Portuguese American writer and detailing their surprising rediscovery in 2015, Frank Gaspar fuses genres, flouts borders, and brings to life a voice that had been silenced.

Traces the development of the Portuguese American press from its beginnings in the late nineteenth century to the present, taking readers from the East Coast to Hawaii, with strategic stops in places with large Portuguese communities, including New Bedford, Massachusetts; Oakland, California; and Newark, New Jersey.
