Améfrica in Letters: Literary Interventions from Mexico to the Southern Cone

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (26159 ratings)

Description:The present historical moment is allowing Black peoples and scholars of Afrodescendance to produce timely discussions of narratives about Blackness, language, and ideas across the western hemisphere. Despite research interventions in the disciplines of history, anthropology, and sociology, however, there is a relative paucity of research on Black letters in Latin American contexts.One reason for this lack of research is that the Latin American literary "canon" does indeed include a handful of Afrodescendant writers--we know, for example, that the seminal poet Rub�n Dar�o was an Afrodescendant, and Nicol�s Guill�n's poetry is included in virtually any literary anthology. A different reason, and the driving force behind this anthology, is that the themes of the great Black writers who have been ignored fall outside canonical themes. Am�frica in Letters brings together new research on Black literary history in the crucial period of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century--a period that saw the consolidation of Black power movements and human rights struggles across the Americas.The Black writers examined here have left an enduring legacy in nuestra Am�rica, particularly in mainland Latin America--even while their prose and poetry challenge the overarching theme of mestizo-imagined multiculturalism that endures in Latin America's publishing industry.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
