Critical Perspectives on Afro-Latin American Literature (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Tillis, Antonio D.

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

After generations of being rendered virtually invisible by the US academy in critical anthologies and literary histories, writing by Latin Americans of African ancestry has become represented by a booming corpus of intellectual and critical investigation. This volume aims to provide an introduction to the literary worlds and perceptions of national culture and identity of authors from Spanish-America, Brazil, and uniquely, Equatorial Guinea, thus contextually connecting Africa to the history of Spanish colonization.
