New Diasporic Reflections on Galician Literature and Culture is an interdisciplinary study of Galician literature, languages, and cultures. The volume brings together essays from an scholars from from fields across the humanities and social sciences to foster a discussion that incorporates new concepts that, as of now, are not part of the imaginary of Galiza, such as gentrification, language imperialism, youth unemployment, deruralization and deindustrialization, media control, technocapitalism, and gender and sexual normativity. It also serve to moderate a conversation about how the independence from the political, material, and sociocultural networks of Autonomic Galiza allows diasporic scholars to think of Galician culture in a desessentializing manner. Working and living in the diaspora provides a lens through which to unmask the hegemonic neocolonial and neoliberal representation and reproduction of Galicianness promoted by different social, political, and mediatic powers.
