Sapogonia
An Anti-Romance in 3/8 Meter

In Sapogonia, award-winning author Ana Castillo confronts the complex issues of race and identity facing those of mixed heritage through the struggles of Maximo Madrigal, an expatriate of Sapogonia, the metaphorical homeleand of all mestizos. Subtly political, it demonstrates how warring blood within a single body resists any peaceful resolution.
