This book-aimed at both the general reader and the specialist-offers a transatlantic
transnational and multidisciplinary cartography of the rapidly expanding intellectual field of
Galician Studies. In the twenty-one essays that comprise the volume leading scholars based in
the United States Canada the United Kingdom and New Zealand engage with this field from the
perspectives of queer theory Atlantic and diasporic thought political ecology hydropoetics
theories of space trauma and memory studies exile national postnational approaches
linguistic ideologies ethnographic poetry and photography Galician language in the US
academic curriculum the politics of children's books film and visual studies the
interrelation of painting and literature and material culture. Structured around five
organizational categories (Frames Routes Readings Teachings and Visualities) and adopting
a pluricentric view of Galicia as an analytical subject of study the book brings cutting-edge
debates in Galician Studies to a broad international readership.
