Radost Rangelova received her PhD in Romance Languages and Literatures from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Her research focuses on Caribbean literature and film, gender and sexuality, cultural geography and national discourses. Her recent publications address the construction of space in Hispanic Caribbean literature and film, the intersections of race, gender and power in the work of Afro-Puerto Rican writers, and the emergence of alternative communities around issues of gender, sexuality and solidarity in Caribbean cultural texts.
