Juan Carlos Toledano Redondo is Professor of Hispanic Studies and Director of Latin American and Latino Studies at Lewis & Clark College. His research examines Hispanic Caribbean literature with special focus on science fiction's evolution in revolutionary and post-Soviet Cuba. He founded and co-edits Alambique, a journal dedicated to Ibero-American speculative fiction.
Toledano's scholarship traces how Cuban SF transitioned from socialist realism to cyberpunk, analyzing works by authors including Yoss, Erick J. Mota, and Daína Chaviano. His publications establish critical frameworks for understanding how speculative genres engage with cultural memory, technological imaginaries, and post-revolutionary identity.
Recent work investigates cyberpunk narratives as responses to Cuba's post-Soviet economic transformations, examining how authors reimagine national history through dystopian and anarcho-capitalist frameworks. His chronological studies document the emergence of Latin American SF from 1775 to present.
