Giannina Braschi (born February 5, 1953) is a Puerto Rican poet, novelist, dramatist, and scholar. Her notable works include Empire of Dreams (1988), Yo-Yo Boing! (1998) and United States of Banana (2011).
Braschi writes cross-genre literature and political philosophy in Spanish, Spanglish, and English.[1] Her work is a hybrid of poetry, metafiction, postdramatic theatre, memoir, manifesto, and political philosophy.[2] Her writings explore the enculturation journey of Hispanic immigrants, and dramatize the three main political options of Puerto Rico: independence, colony, and state.[3][4]
