RESEARCH INTERSTS

Since arriving at FIU in 2003, Professor Andrade’s research and teaching interests have focused on the intersections of race, gender, class, postcoloniality and genre. Her research has primarily examined narrative form and its relationship to configurations of national/racial identities.  She has published in African American Review; American Literature; Contours: A Journal of the African Diaspora; BIM; and The Massachusetts Review. Her essays have also appeared in several scholarly books.  Her book, African Atlantic Crossings:  Race, Nation and Narratology, is under contract with the University of Georgia Press and in forthcoming in Fall 2009.  Her second monograph is tentatively titled:  Popular Culture, Gender and Economy in the Caribbean and examines the imbrications of popular cultural practices in the Caribbean through the lens of globalization, the rise of neo-liberalism, and the sex/gender marketplace as sites of socio-economic-sexual exchange.
