    "This book explores the post-insular imprint in Puerto Rican letters through a sample of authors from the island and the diaspora. From a canonical figure like Alejandro Tapia to the post-Nuyorican poet Víctor Hernández Cruz, and from the working-class feminism of Luisa Capetillo and Franca de Armiño to Virginia Sánchez Korrol narrative homage to the legacy of Emilia Casanova, trends such as dissidence and migration are core to the understanding of the Puerto Rican and its diasporic experiences. In Tapia's case, his Póstumo saga offers a transmigrated subject who questions the gender binary. Regarding Capetillo and Armiño, a sample of their plays show not only a global awareness, but also the intersection between class and gender issues to challenge patriarchal constraints. A related intersection, the one between gender and racial matters, is key in Casanova's understanding of freedom and the pan-Antillean consciousness that Boricua historia Sánchez Korrol underscores in her novel about the Cuban activist. To conclude this examination of the post-insular imprint in works by authors in diverse canons and working on different genres, the closing chapter is dedicated to Hernández Cruz's poetry as an unequivocal celebration of the migratory experience of the Caribbean. These writers, thus, emerge as migrants of the word in a spirit of dissidence against colonialist notions of Puerto Rico, its diaspora, and the Caribbean"-- Dissident spirits and the case for the post-insular -- Spirits of dissidence : Alejandro Tapia y Rivera's Póstumo el transmigrado and Póstumo envirginiado -- Whimsical women : gender and labor in the plays of Luisa Capetillo and Franca de Armiño -- "All in the name of liberation" : feminist and abolitionist : the story of Emilia Casanova -- A poetic manifesto for the Caribbean : Víctor Hernández Cruz's In the shadow of Al-Andalus
