Resumo

This review aims to discuss Presencia y Resistencia – British Latinx Writing & Art, dissecting the literary works of first- and second-generation Latinx writers living in the United Kingdom. The focus relies on Anglo-Brazilian writers, a term coined by Mariana Soletti da Silva in her thesis Há mais coisas entre o Brasil e o Reino Unido: literatura anglo-brasileira, memória e identidade. Nevertheless, the theoretical and literary frameworks offered by other Latinx writers towards sexuality, ancestry, and corporeality, are also thoroughly discussed. The review further aims to promote British LatinX Writing in Brazil, given the fact that Brazilians constitute the largest Latin American population living in the United Kingdom, according to the latest census research conducted by Queen Mary University of London.
