Publisher's Synopsis
Not Your Papi's Utopia: Latinx Visions of Radical Hope is the final installment of the Latinx Archive speculative fiction trilogy. The first two anthologies, Latinx Rising and Speculative Fiction for Dreamers, were designed to demonstrate the history and vibrancy of the Latinx speculative. This third anthology summons the innovative utopian visions and radical hope needed to directly face the environmental and social problems of our current moment. The twenty-two stories and seven poems in the book demonstrate a range of approaches to utopian thinking, exploring utopian societies, ambiguous utopias, alternate utopias, bits of utopia, utopian impulses, and activist energies. These are not necessarily visions of a perfect society, but of a people trying to do better, to be more in harmony with the environment, and to build more equitable political systems. Latinx writers from the U.S. and Latin America come together to strengthen community bonds, activate the imagination, and develop neural pathways to a better future. Edited by Matthew David Goodwin, Alex Hernandez, and Sara Rivera.
