Publisher's Summary: while they sleep (under the bed is another country) is written in dialogic fragments and interspersed with prose poems reflecting on the lasting impact of colonial trauma. The bed on which America sleeps is built on the fear that the nations it has oppressed will rise up against it, a monstrous shadow in a child's nightmare. Written in English, while they sleep points to an imperialist American identity: the dormant body of the text. Answering in Spanish, under the bed is another country is the footnote, the monster under the bed, the colony: Puerto Rico.
