Immigration to Transtierro: A Bilingual, Bicultural and Bifurcated Life - Paperback

This book offers an innovative approach to the study of the Caribbean diaspora in the United States, combining historical analysis with personal narrative. It provides a comprehensive overview of immigration processes from Caribbean countries to the U.S., while examining shared patterns and distinct experiences among diverse Caribbean communities. In addition to its scholarly perspective, the book incorporates the author's personal story of transtierro, weaving lived experience into broader discussions of displacement, identity, and belonging. Together, these elements present a nuanced portrait of the Caribbean diaspora and its complex social, cultural, and historical dimensions. This English edition, translated by Erin Goodman, includes a new foreword by Alessandro Oricchio from the Sapienza University of Rome.
