She ruminates on the relationship between her son’s blackness and his safety, exploring the dangers of childhood in a post–Trayvon Martin era and invoking racialized roles in fairy tales. Against the stark urban landscapes of threat and surveillance, Chang returns to the language of mothers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeditating on the lives of Michael Brown, Leiby Kletzky, and Noemi Álvarez Quillay—lost at the hands of individuals entrusted to protect them—Chang creates hybrid poetic forms that mirror her investigation of racial tensions. Through an agile blend of zuihitsu, ghazal, prose poems, mosaic poems, and lyric essays, \u003ci\u003eHybrida\u003c\/i\u003e envisions a childhood of mixed race as one that is complex, emotionally wrought, and often vulnerable. \u003ci\u003eHybrida\u003c\/i\u003e is a twenty-first-century tale that is equal parts a mother’s love and her fury, an ambitious and revelatory exploration of identity that establishes Tina Chang as one of the most vital voices of her generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTina Chang\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the poetry collections \u003ci\u003eHybrida, Of Gods \u0026amp; Strangers, Half-Lit Houses\u003c\/i\u003e, and coeditor of the Norton anthology \u003ci\u003eLanguage for a New Century: Contemporary Poetry from the Middle East, Asia, and Beyond\u003c\/i\u003e.
