Earlier this semester, Miguel-Angel Zapata, associate professor of romance languages and literatures, presented the inagural copy of The Hofstra Hispanic Review (HHR) to Hofstra President Stuart Rabinowitz. HHR, for which Dr. Zapata is editor, is a peer-reviwed journal that will be published three times a year. It features articles, interviews, creative work, and book reviews in English and Spanish dealing with Hispanic literature and culture. The publication will serve as a contact point for Hispanic writers in the diaspora (United States, Europe, other Latin American countries) to interact and resonate.

Much of the journal is dedicated to an exploration of the cultural and artistic connections shared among the writers who no longer reside in their native country and those who write in English or Spanish or both.
