Bio
Ylce Irizarry received her Ph.D. in English from Pennsylvania State University and is currently Assistant Professor. Her research areas include U.S. Latina/o and Chicana/o literature, Hispanic Caribbean historical fiction, Narrative Ethics, and Testimonio. Her work has appeared in Antipodas (2009), Contemporary Literature (2007), CAS: Comparative American Studies (2006), and LIT: Literature Interpretation Theory (2005). She has a chapter in an edited collection, Voces Caribeñas (Palgrave, 2010) and is currently working on a manuscript that explores how Latina/o and Chicana/o literatures have been increasingly concerned with the possibilities for empowerment within these cultural communities, rather than with acculturation to the Anglo American mainstream.
