¿Y Yo También? brings together a diverse range of Latina voices to address the under-representation of Latinx voices in the #MeToo movement and discussions of sexual violence. Through scholarly analysis of literature, media, podcasting, film, art, and testimonio alongside memoir, poetry, a short play, and personal essays, the authors address varied Latina experiences of sexual assault and harassment. These authors grapple with these traumas alongside their intersectional contexts, including U.S. imperialism in Puerto Rico, race, sexuality, indigeneity, religion, the publication landscape, and more. Ultimately, each contribution sheds light on the lack of scholarly and media attention to the realities of Latinas and sexual assault but also chart pathways toward individual and community healing. This is a volume that is intellectually rigorous yet deeply accessible—suited for academics, college-level students, creatives, performers, practitioners, activists, and general readers alike.
