In hernewest work, Mar a DeGuzm n explores representations of night in art andliterature from the Caribbean, Colombia, Central and South America, and the US, calling into question night’s effect on the formation of identity for Latina/os inand outside of the US. She takes as her subject novels, short stories, poetry, essays, non-fiction, photo-fictions, photography, and film, and examines these textsthrough the lenses of nationhood, sexuality, human rights, exoticism, amongothers.
