clear, for her, that “the struggle [for Black liberation] is fought on many ways, on many fronts ... more clear, for her, that “the struggle [for Black liberation] is fought on many ways, on many fronts and literature is certainly one of those fronts” (171). In her brief 2009 interview with Dawn Raffel, Marshall talks about her latest work Triangular Road: A Memoir. She says it traces the people and situations so fundamental to her writing: “First there is Brooklyn, where I was born and grew up. Then there’s the fact that my parents came from Barbados, which sort of sits of by itself like a shy lily, away from the string of islands that make up the Caribbean. And there was curiosity on my part about the colossus of Africa. That’s why the memoir is called Triangular Road” (189). Hathaway and Hall certainly present a “a valuable and multifaceted view” of the writer Paule Marshall according to her underlying interests of personal liberation and communal liberation from colonial oppression. In addition to this incredibly essential book are two more interviews not included in Hathaway and Hall’s work. First a 1991 interview Marshall conducted with Don Swaim where Marshall challenges categorization of her characters in ways that resemble her critique of tokenism. A more recent interview completed since this book went to press was with Connie Martinson and includes more detail about Triangular Road. These interviews altogether show the literary treasure we have in Paule Marshall. —Rhone Fraser

In doing so it created, for the first time in U.S. history, equal marriage rights for same-sex couples in all states, and changed the legal status and civil rights of members of the LGBTQ community in crucial ways, ranging from visitation rights to the granting of visas to international spouses, and from adoption to inheritance rights. The 2011 publication of Justin Torres's debut novel We the Animals performs queer Puerto Rican masculinity at the precise moment when the government first considers challenges to the constitutionality of section 3 of DOMA, as expressed by then Attorney General Eric Holder, 1 intersecting with an ever-growing hostility towards Latinx in the United States. While the most virulent recent antiimmigrant discourse has been targeting Mexican and Central American immigrants and their children, culminating in the passing of Arizona SB 1070 in Spring 2010, Puerto Ricans on the island, too, continue to be second-class citizens ineligible to participate in presidential elections and to apply for governmental relief from crippling debt. In ongoing limbo as a "unincorporated territory" (Soto-Crespo 101) of the United States since the Spanish-American War of 1898, and the "longest existing colony in the world" (Trías Monge 185), the condition of Puerto Rico always already queers the myth of an egalitarian, democratic nation. 2 A queer coming of age/coming out narrative, We the Animals features a first person narrator, the youngest of three brothers, who grows up in a working class home in upstate New York, and emerges as someone who rejects the very values that strive to "normalize" queer life via assimilation into legally defined and state-sanctioned Refusing the Referendum: Queer Latino Masculinities and Utopian Citizenship i...
