Joakim Lindengren (born March 28, 1962) is a Swedish cartoonist, illustrator and artist.
Lindengren studied fine arts at Västerås Konstskola and Konstfack in Stockholm. He made his comic album debut in the early 1980s. [1] [2] He has been published in magazines such as Pondus, Galago, Pyton and Mega-Pyton and has created more than twenty comic book albums. He and David Nessle collaborated on the popular series John Holmes & Sherlock Watson. [3]
Lindengren created the superhero Kapten Stofil (Captain Geezer), a series about an old grumpy man whose sole power is conjuring 1950s and 60s nostalgia. The character resents technology and progress in general. The series is drawn by hand in a Silver Age pastiche style. The hero in the series had his own comic book series as well. Kapten Stofil's alter ego is Lindengren, who is a nostalgia buff who collects vintage toys and drives an old hearse. [1]
Lindengren collaborated with Puerto Rican author Giannina Braschi on the Latinx comic book "United States of Banana." [4] Lindengren drew in black pencil the wide cast of iconic characters from the stage such Hamlet, Zarathustra, and Segismundo as well as political characters from real life such as Fidel Castro, Donald Trump, Luis Munoz Marin and Barack Obama. [1] The work is a post-911 political allegory about the fall of the United States and the independence of Puerto Rico. [5] He created realistic depictions of physical locations in New York and Puerto Rico, such as South Street Seaport, Statue of Liberty, Old San Juan, and the United Nations. Lindengren filled the work with art history, quoting works of Goya, Hieronymus Bosch and Francis Bacon. [6]

American literature written in Spanish in the United States dates back as 1610 when the Spanish explorer Gaspar Pérez de Villagrá published his epic poem Historia de Nuevo México.

However, it was not until the late 20th century that Spanish language literature written by Americans was regularly published in the United States.
Yo-Yo Boing! (1998) is a postmodern novel in English, Spanish, and Spanglish by Puerto Rican author Giannina Braschi.

The work addresses tensions between Anglo-American and Hispanic-American cultures in the United States.
United States of Banana (2011) is a postmodern allegorical novel by the Puerto Rican author Giannina Braschi. It is a cross-genre work that blends experimental theatre, prose poetry, short story, and political philosophy with a manifesto on democracy and American life in a post-9/11 world. The book dramatizes the global war on terror and narrates the author's displacement after the attacks from her home in the Battery Park neighborhood in New York City. The work addresses Latin American immigration to the United States, Puerto Rico's colonial status, and "power imbalances within the Americas."
Latino literature is literature written by people of Latin American ancestry, often but not always in English, most notably by Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, Cuban Americans, and Dominican Americans, many of whom were born in the United States. the origin of the term "Latino literature" dates back to the 1960s, during the Chicano Movement, which was a social and political movement by Mexican Americans seeking equal rights and representation. At the time, the term "Chicano literature" was used to describe the work of Mexican-American writers. As the movement expanded, the term "Latino" came into use to encompass writers of various Latin American backgrounds, including Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, and others.
Empire of Dreams is a postmodern poetry epic by Puerto Rican author Giannina Braschi, who is considered "one of the most revolutionary voices in Latin American literature today".
Latino theatre presents a wide range of aesthetic approaches, dramatic structures, and themes, ranging from love, romance, immigration, border politics, nation building, incarceration, and social justice. Whether of a linguistic, ethnic, political, cultural or sexual nature, the plays often have a social justice component involving Latino people living in the United States. The Oxcart by René Marqués, Marisol by José Rivera (playwright), and In the Heightsby Lin-Manuel Miranda are examples of staged Broadway plays. There is also a strong tradition of Latino avant-garde and absurdist theatre, which double as political satires; prime examples include The Masses are Asses by Pedro Pietri and United States of Banana by Giannina Braschi.
